Re:Wormhole confirms all $320M in funds have been restored on Thursday February 03, 2022 @02:13PM (#30197235)
Not really bailing out retail. There was enough liquidity for retail users to exit the tokens at risk without a penalty.

On the other hand the VCs themselves that are large owners of the tokens in Solana ecosystem would incur large losses, and that's excluding additional losses from reputation in future. It just shows how successful Jump VCs are when they put up $320M in a few hours. Maybe a month of their PnL?

If you're booking each leg with different carrier, I find it best to pay the little extra with kiwi.com and they give you guarantee for the connection. I missed connection twice and they always got me on the next flight to the destination for free.
