CoinCheck Hacked ($500M gonezo), Futures Manipulation and Lightning Network

CoinCheck was recently hacked for over $500 MILLION worth of NEM, once again showing the dangers of storing your crypto on a centralized exchange. In addition to the negligence from CoinCheck, we have the subject of BTC Futures manipulation as we reach the close of the first CME Group January contracts, as well as a bullish sign from the Lightning Network?
