$250,000 to test the waters: Is Gate about to honor its pledge to freeze funds?
A hacker deposited $250,000 in USDD into Gate within 12 hours, split across seven transfers. It’s not a huge amount, but the timing is telling.
Just a few days ago, Gate CEO Han Lin said publicly that hacker funds would be frozen immediately once they came in.
Now the money has arrived. Freeze it, and Gate keeps its promise; don’t, and those words become empty.
At its core, this $250,000 from the hacker is asking Gate one question: Is your promise to “freeze immediately” real?
Big cases reveal an attitude; small sums show whether it’s put into practice. What happens to this $250,000 will say more than many announcements.
