I remember the Coindash hack, I would have been one of the investors would I not have gone to the beach on that day. It is quite amazing that the hackers have returned part of the money. Maybe negotiations have been hold since the hackers were afraid to be caught. A nice mystery.

You think the reason the hacker hasn't returned all 43,000 Ether is because he struck a deal with the team? I find that hard to believe, because they're still looking for him:

Quote
· We have notified the Counter Cyber Terrorist Unit in Israel.

· The hacker’s Ethereum address will continue to be tracked and monitored for any suspicious activity.

If he isn't confident he can't be found he would either never touch the Ether or return everything hoping they let him off the hook.

But if he's sure he'll never be caught why return any Ether at all?

Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. A hacker who didn't realize the consequences of his actions at the time and is still in a state of confusion.


I smell something fishy going on in there. A hacker returning most of the funds stolen. That is just quite convenient.
There are a lot of scenarios that may be at play regarding this and we don't know which really is it. Or at least from where I stand.  Grin
