Some updates on the earlier Nexus' Hugh/MetaMask $8M insane, scary hack tragedy.
Short facts as first reported 14hrs ago:

For those too lazy to open a PDF, heres the "audit"
For those who don't know wtf this is: 1. It's an audit summary. 2. There are red flags in summary. 3. You need to read between the lines a bit whenever looking at an audit. Actually easier to do the summary.
Part 1: statement of facts
When, how many days
What exactly they auditted
Who did the auditing

0/ Why the Network is So Clogged: A Thread
(warning: strong language and anger-inducing behavior inside) 😠
1/ As we've been looking into the recent network congestion / high gas prices, one of the more interesting things to come to light involves a random exchange (whom we will not name as this is likely part of their "PR strategy")
Part 1: statement of facts
More info incoming.
