Binance hack ... Where is the 1,740 BTC ?

A graph showing the network of transfers made by hackers in Binance
This graph Shows only the first 3 levels of very complex network transfers woven by hackers to hide the stolen Bitcoin trace

The first stage:

Was distributing the stolen Bitcoins from the platform's wallet to a collection of customer accounts whose data had been stolen and controlled earlier ..

The second stage:

A set of transfers to a complex network of accounts to collect stolen Bitcoins and hide traces of conversions to make it difficult for the security team to track them after theft detection.

The third stage :

The stolen Bitcoins was split into 7 accounts believed to belong to hackers.

The strangest thing is that the hackers, although they stole (7074.193 BTC ) only as Binance has announced, but they transfered about 8747.1 BTC which is very suspicious, and opens up many possibilities, for example:

The robbery included an amount of Bitcoins bigger than that announced by Binance, even if the thefts took place earlier or later to the official announcement.

The hackers have committed similar thefts from other platforms or exchages and have not been disclosed by those platforms.

This hacking event was a paid operation , where a third party leased the hackers' services and paid them 1,740 BTC for the operation

And the door of possibilities and theories remains open to the source of the 1,740 BTC more than the amount announced officially stolen from the platform ...

Very interested in reading comments...
