What negligence? They got their own money stolen. You do not get sued for being robbed of your money, normally. If they do not have the liquidity to let people withdraw money that is another issue, but it does not seem to be the case.
So this stolen crypto is off Binance own reserves. So it could be absorbed across current accounts as long as they aren’t drawn down to below $6B? And if crypto drops they can apply cash reserves to plug the hole more easily?

Again they cannot be charged for losing billions of their own money, and there is no way to somehow consider the lost funds as "customers' money". I am all for companies getting sued due to negligence when eg they fail to protect customer data, but this is just between binance and the hackers.
