So if they made a typo, would it be lost to the void?
I mean probably not since they control the blockchain and they can fork it to undo the transaction, but still. That's a lot of money to move in one go.

Then the transaction itself to move those 6 bn has probably been prepared offline, on a fully airgapped computer, signed with a HSM and then later one broadcasted (once it's been carefully inspected).
The amount is 6 billions: I think that the precautions taken here are beyond many's imagination.
You can get your Tethers back if you're moving 10-figure sums. Let's leave it at that.
Of course you can still just send to the wrong address entirely.
I agree with your reasoning but it assumes facts not in evidence.
Do you have anything to back that claim up? I don't understand, since the whole fuss behind decentralized cryptos is that they are, you know, decentralized.
I doubt Binance has the influence to convince anyone to fork just to save them. They have no outsized control over Tezos afaik.
They could probably convince Tether to blacklist and refund the stolen/lost coins though, which is maybe what GP meant. That should not be confused with forking the underlying chain though.
