I wish I could watch a Ocean's Eleven-style movie about this heist.

But maybe it wouldn't be that exciting to see some guys sitting at a desk.

Let me introduce you to the TV show Industry which takes you into the world of London high finance where tense phone calls, compliance violations and financial crimes are the order of the day [1]

I imagine it would look like a bunch of North Korean guys (probably not starving like their countrymen, but probably not looking great either) sitting in something like a cross between a NK state prison and an American office.

So yeah, really not exciting ... just sad.

They clicked the "pi" symbol on the Binance homepage [1].

Plenty to film/story to tell - Binance team freaking about the operation, the users who find out funds are gone, and the thieves living it up on the stolen money.

There's a very good BBC podcast about the north Korean and Russian hacking teams by BBC, one in Lazarus and one on evil Corp or something. Shoudnlt be hard to search for if interested.

I felt the same way about the Ledger wallet heist. The amount of planning that must have gone into that is insane.

You might enjoy the BBC podcast cyberhack, about another very elaborate financial hacking operation: https://www.bbc.com/audio/series/w27vqd03

AI removed the fun even to this.

But what if they’re getting a blowjob while they’re sitting at their desk?

That was the solution that the movie Swordfish came up with to solve this tricky problem.
