"The hack also does not appear to be financially motivated. The vanity addresses used by the hackers are generated through "brute force" methods - involving the creation of large numbers of cryptographic key pairs until one contains the desired text. But creating vanity addresses with text strings as long as those used in this hack is computationally infeasible.

This means that Predatory Sparrow would not have the private keys for the crypto addresses they sent the Nobitex funds to, and have effectively burned the funds in order to send Nobitex a political message."

Wut.... So they steal real money. Then burn it to...make a point? That seems nonsensical
