FTX was not hacked and 45'000 BTC are still fully in their custody. Here's proof.

EDIT: FTX has noticed the uproar from the community and has addressed this fear by splitting up the 45'000 BTC to multiple hotwallets. You will therefore no longer be able to replicate what I did this morning. More info here: https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1437808250611765255

Original post from this morning:

I was shook by this post here and had to immediately check if it's true: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pnsiq6/a_big_chunk_of_bitcoin_is_being_moved_around_at/ (the OP has since edited in my post).

So apparently, the 45'000 BTC do not belong to FTX anymore and they're slowly being peeled. As per the statement of FTX's CEO (https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1437460791188467712?s=19), all should be well.

Now here comes my proof that the 45'000 BTC are still in full custody of FTX and nobody should be concerned (I know I was!)

I just withdrew 0.01 BTC from FTX as you can see in this transaction:

And here is the transaction to my Wallet on chain: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/10c57fe4b8449c8353e74c04b6954782245c1a6b0ea3f9515b51f7515262567d?from=ftx

It shows I received the 0.01 BTC from the 45'000 BTC moving stack. Therefore, the funds are 100% still in control of FTX.

Obviously, there is nothing to worry about and I cannot believe that nobody has tested this so far.
