Trump on Binance Hack: I've Always Been Aware of Cryptocurrency Theft Risk On October 30th, US President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) addressed the Binance theft of approximately $6.3 billion in assets in the White House. When asked by reporters whether North Korean hackers were involved, Trump stated that it was currently unclear and the US was investigating. Regarding the possibility of recovering the funds, he said Binance had indicated it would recover the funds and claimed the situation was largely under control, but the actual outcome remained to be seen. Trump also compared modern digital transactions to the past use of checks, stating that people can no longer even see the money itself, which he has always considered somewhat dangerous.
