The parent post was someone literally hosting a crpyto conference, and this one was someone who runs a crypto company. A sibling story describes the father of a 'cryptocurrency influencer.' Is there any evidence of real crime happening which was targeted at Coinbase leak data, or is this just vibes

The point is, it didn't need a coinbase data breach to identify these victims - they're high profile, public users of crypto.
