$300 is not a small sum for Jump...this isn't FAANG we're talking about.

  Maybe not "small", but surely a sum they can put up without thinking twice. They're a top trading firm, whose competitors have spent $300mm to run hundreds of miles of cables to save microseconds in latency.

You're not dealing in mics until you're in the colo. But those are investments, which will generate huge returns. Throwing $300m to paper over a hack isn't remotely the same.

  It's a bit hard to tell how much money/assets they have as they are private but they employ 700 people on trading crypto. I imagine they have made a few bob.
