Bitfinex so called "hack" was actually an inside job. A master piece of deception... with many levels involved. That "hack" lead to creation of today's Tether, the precursor (preparations) of CBDCs.
Here some resources to dig in:

Be aware, this paper OP posted, is just another way to cover up the inside job and used the patsies as "hackers".... You have to look deeper than this to find out the meaning of all this.
Generally many many "hacks" are in fact inside jobs.
However, in case of Bitfinex they actually went to pretty good lengths to pay off all the victims at the time. they sold shares in the company to do so.....seems dubious that they would "hack themselves" only to borrow money to pay back victims.
