People are often in a prisoner’s dilemma, where they are relying on the developers/team to spearhead the investigation including the judicial investigation against the perpetrators with the chance of their being a financial remedy and so therefore nobody is trying to kill or impair the developers/team if you were referring to people committing suicide or being suicided by the people they borrowed money from, thats not everyone’s problem and people in those circumstances should re-evaluate to avoid that risk or accept that risk

This is a really severe heist, but the latter part of your comment seems rather dramatic. Crypto is still generally not a medium of exchange, and most users are still speculative investors. Most of these investors have a hedge (or are using crypto as their hedge), except for the foolish.

  There a monetary value you can attach to a human's life, as much as that seems to be taboo. Depending on how you measure, that value is (in the US and Europe) typically in the order of 1..5 Mio USD. So it's not outrageous to assume that losing 150m comes with a body count, even if the funds wouldn't have bee used to directly save or improve lives otherwise.
