Binance CFO departs after record hack. Binance’s chief financial officer is leaving to “pursue a new venture” barely a week after hackers stole $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency from users — the largest crypto theft in history.
TechCrunch’s reporting frames the exit as a move to a new venture and does not explicitly connect it to the breach, though the timing places the executive change days after the incident. The stolen funds belonged to users of the exchange, and the theft now ranks as the biggest in the industry’s history. The report does not detail a successor or any fund-recovery plans.

Grocery strike hits New England supply. Hundreds of warehouse workers began striking this week, cutting off hundreds of New England grocery stores. Independent grocers warn customers may find shortages and bare shelves.
According to Inc., the walkout centers on warehouse operations that supply independent grocers, meaning smaller regional stores rather than national chains appear to face the most immediate impact. The action is only days old, and the report does not indicate how long it could last or whether negotiations are underway, leaving affected retailers to caution shoppers about potential gaps in stock in the meantime.

Tesla to return Cybertruck deposits. Elon Musk said Tesla must return “a lot” of Cybertruck deposits. Orders “far exceed” the company’s capacity to build the pickup before it is discontinued next year.
Business Insider reported that demand has outstripped what the automaker can produce in the vehicle’s remaining window, since production is set to end next year. Reservation holders whose trucks cannot be built would get their money back under Musk’s comments. The report does not specify how many deposits are affected, a refund timeline, or why the pickup is being discontinued.
