What's the evidence here? You have no way of knowing if they own the wallet or not. Support seems not bothered:

I think this is an attempt at inducing a panic.

At least one person in the thread has claimed that part of their transaction has actually gone through, finally.

Maybe ETH can hard-fork again to invalidate those transactions.

But more seriously, clearly too early to tell what's happening here. Regardless, if people had their ETH in a closed-source wallet application at all, it's unsurprising that this would happen to it.

With my limited understanding, if indeed the eth does not go to the advertised own wallet address but to another one, this seems extremely fishy. Can someone from freewallet.org care to explain if yes or no such centralisation occurs, and if so: WHY?

Someone just transferred 6000 of the stolen ETH out to an empty wallet. (~3.2 million USD).

FreeWallet.org scam – millions stolen
