【$100,000 REWARD FOR LEADS ON POSSIBLE INSIDER INVOLVEMENT IN THE GATE THEFT CASE】
I am putting up a $100,000 reward for credible information that can lead to a real breakthrough in this case.
The attacker knew my registration year, registration location, and even the only OTC trade I made in 2019—details that I could barely remember myself. I therefore have strong reason to suspect possible data leakage, unauthorized internal searches, abuse of backend access, or someone providing my information to outsiders.
I am publicly seeking information regarding:
The attacker’s identity, the flow of stolen funds, the source of my personal information, as well as any records related to internal account searches, identity verification, liveness checks, security-setting resets, withdrawal approval, or internal communications.
Current or former Gate employees, service providers, contractors, or anyone with relevant knowledge may submit information. All leads will be verified by my legal team and law enforcement. Rewards will be paid according to the lead’s actual contribution to advancing the investigation, identifying suspects, or recovering funds, with a maximum reward of $100,000.
Gate has stopped responding to my posts,@Han_Gate @Gate @Gate_zh but silence will not make the facts disappear.

Why does Gate consistently avoid addressing the core issues?
1. Why is it allowed to allow attackers to use forged ID documents and non-personal liveness videos to pass identity verification, modify security settings, and complete withdrawals?
My Gate account's original linked Gmail, SMS messages, and Google Authenticator were all valid and undisclosed. Yet, the attackers were able to reset all security verifications and transfer 1.7 million USDT using only forged ID documents, non-personal liveness videos, and an unused Alipay account not linked to your platform.
Alipay is not a necessary verification method for Gate, and Gate has never explicitly told users that they must guarantee the absolute security of their Alipay accounts. The platform cannot shift all responsibility for the stolen account to the user simply because the attacker possessed external information. Otherwise, any leak of interests, experiences, or third-party account information can be packaged by the platform as an excuse for breached risk control.
Gate's repeated hype about "personal information leaks" is a deliberate attempt to circumvent the platform's risk control failures!
2. Why doesn't Gate dare to provide facial recognition videos?
On the one hand, Gate previously stated explicitly that the relevant videos were "saved" and claimed to have provided all the information to the police; now, when asked to produce them, they changed their tune, claiming they "could not save them because they involve biometric information." In reality, the police only received photos of people holding their ID cards, not the videos.
Claiming to have them "saved" when needed, and then claiming they "could not save" when asked, is an attempt to evade crucial evidence and obstruct the investigation.
3. Gate's attempt to shift blame by citing "long-term neglect of alert notifications" is illogical.
When I registered and used the platform, Gate never explicitly stipulated that users must check emails and alerts daily; otherwise, if an account is stolen or funds are transferred, the user would be responsible. Users are not obligated to monitor their emails 24/7, and it's impossible for them to automatically assume responsibility for failed identity verification and ineffective withdrawal risk control simply because they haven't checked emails for a few days.
Not checking emails does not automatically mean the user is assuming responsibility for ineffective risk control.

I hadn't checked my Gate account for a few days, and today I was completely stunned and my scalp tingled with fear. My Gate account had been hacked, and approximately $1.7 million in assets had been withdrawn.
This is my verified account, and I had set up phone verification, Google Authenticator, and email verification. During this time, I didn't receive any SMS verification codes, and I never provided anyone with a video, a photo of myself holding my ID card, or a screen recording of my login session.
However, my email showed messages on July 4th: "Reset login password email verification" and "Reset security items - supplementary information," and on July 5th, a "Notification of account email change." Gate customer service also confirmed that changing security items usually requires the verified account holder to provide a photo of themselves holding their ID card or a screen recording of their login session. Furthermore, I did not activate the API or have API withdrawal permissions.
Gate, please immediately explain: Who submitted this information? Why were my security items and email reset without me receiving SMS messages or providing any video/ID card/screen recording? Please immediately freeze the relevant on-chain addresses, publicly disclose the progress of the investigation, and provide a compensation plan.
