Recall that last week I posted about my MetaMask wallet being hijacked and my coin transferred out. So I just checked and those funds finally lended up in a "Binance Hot Wallet" with 204k BNB worth $131MM.

This is the transaction that moved it from my wallet:

This is the hot wallet where it ended up:

What the heck is a hot wallet? And why would it have so many different coins and $131MM dollars? One of you smart people help me out here.
