On August 2nd the Hong Kong-based Bitcoin exchange Bitfinex was compromised for roughly $70 million worth of Bitcoin. According to sources, the attacker managed to drain the exchange through its multi-signature security — gaining 120,000 BTC from the breach. Now the exchange is trying to reach out to the responsible party in an attempt to get its customers’ Bitcoin returned.

It really seems impossible for them to ever make contact with the guy, and chances are they never will. We're going to at best see a minor statement regarding this in the future, but it will never come from the hacker himself. Chances are that guy is long-gone and they aren't going to be finding him anytime soon, unless he gets cocky and exposes himself either online or in real life. It might just be a waiting game.
