I'm also curious as to why I keep seeing the vague and somewhat uncommon expression "to make whole" in relation to the Coinbase breach. I have neither the time nor the interest to dig into the matter, but my astroturfey-senses are tingling.

I've heard the term used in libertarian circles. I think it's justice without punishment. Instead of the offender being slapped on the wrist, imprisoned etc., the offender must work to restore the victim to how they were prior to the offense.

It’s an incredibly common phrase which has nothing to do with Libertarianism.
