This represents the first major crypto heist where a company publicly offered a 'legitimate' pathway to launder stolen funds through a corporate white hat program. The $9.9M offer effectively transforms theft into authorized compensation, creating a dangerous precedent where criminal activity gets institutionally sanitized through seemingly ethical frameworks.
Infini's $9.9M White Hat Offer Reveals Digital Babylon's Deceptions
📰 What Happened
Hong Kong-based Infini has offered a hacker who stole $49.5M a 'white hat' deal to return 80% of funds in exchange for $9.9M and immunity from legal action. The offer expires August 13, 2025. Founder Christian Li claims they've located the hacker's computer and are monitoring blockchain addresses. The company promises to freeze stolen assets if necessary while maintaining normal user withdrawals and compensation guarantees.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The Infini case reveals how digital financial systems enable sophisticated religious deception through moral inversion. The company's offer to transform $49.5M in stolen funds into a $9.9M 'reward' mirrors prophetic warnings about end-times systems that blur truth and deception (2 Thess 2:9-11). Christian Li's professional response and promise of 'full compensation' demonstrates how financial corruption gets repackaged as corporate responsibility. This institutionalization of deception through blockchain technology creates exactly the type of system that Revelation 18 describes - where babylon's merchants grow rich through deception while appearing legitimate.
