Alex Thorn notes that many bitcoiners are giving up work and family time to deal with the fallout, and thanks Bloomberg for covering two of those stories, attaching screenshots of the article. The captured screenshots show a 6 August 2026 piece by Ben Weiss quoting Thorn saying the victims are average everyday people saving their money in bitcoin, that he has been immersed in victim reports and code, and that he told victims who lost all their savings and felt ashamed that he would help as much as he could; Robert Hamilton of AnchorWatch describing sleepless nights and teaming up with other developers to use AI to find security vulnerabilities; and Becca Rubenfeld saying it is as if they are off at war. Held as a dated marker of the incident reaching mainstream financial press and of which responders that press went to. Thorn heads research at Galaxy, whose flow-of-funds accounting the archive holds at glxyresearch-flow-map, and Hamilton is AnchorWatch's chief executive, both interests recorded elsewhere in the register. The article's contents are Bloomberg's reporting and the quotations are its subjects' own; nothing in it is verified here, and the article itself is not held by this archive.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
