Bitfinex isn't the party in question here. Unless Jump has their own coin they can mint out of thin air and convince people to buy for Ether, or are able to convince any of the other main tokens to mint for them, this scenario isn't even plausible.

Apparently they do, it's called Solana, and the hacker did the minting for them :)

See the top comment.

None of this is remotely accurate and nobody minted Solana. They minted tokens that no longer exist ON Solana. $320 was spent in ETH - a plenty liquid asset that they have that much less of and that lowers the total value of their holdings by that much.
