A hacker managed to steal $613 million in crypto on Tuesday, which is the largest crypto heist ever. A nice loot, but the hacker wouldn’t plan to keep track of everything. Because the hacked company said that part of it has already been refunded.

mr. White Hat is arguably one of the weirdest hackers ever. Because after stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto coins, the hacker explained his actions with a ‘Q&A’ and even refunded part of the money. “I take the responsibility of demonstrating the vulnerability of the system before someone else can abuse it,” he said in the Q&A in which he explains more about the stolen cryptocurrencies from the cryptocurrency platform Poly Network, which acts as an intermediary for transactions of cryptocurrencies. The platform was attacked via Ethereum, the Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon.

After the theft, Poly Network asked on Twitter that the perpetrator would return the money. And that has had an effect because the hacker let it be known that he would like to have an address where he could do that. In this way he was already able to return a very large part. According to Elliptic co-founder Tom Robinson, every deposit comes with some explanation. He says he did it “for fun” and “prefers to remain unknown in order to save the world”.
On Twitter, Poly Network also indicated that a large part of the money has been deposited in a multisig wallet that is controlled by the company itself and Mr. white hat. However, the company indicates that not everything has been refunded yet, but that the intention is to get everything back.
