I really don't believe Mr. Balina got hacked for 2 Million, a crypto celebrity like him should know, as you said: " to don’t put all your eggs in the same basket”.
There are some users on reddit that caught a tweet moments before the hack where Balina expressed he's been hacked... All this BEFORE the funds are transferred, moments later Balina deleted this post.
I dont have the OC but here is a repost of the thread.
I think it is just a scheme to avoid some hefty taxes.... just saying!
