Would be really interesting to see whether the thief can be caught. But in my eyes at least the NEM issue got solved mostly, since the stolen XEM are in the majority ( if not all) in circulation again. On the upside of all, stands the broader distribution the project now has, especially in regards that it even was one of the best distributed projects even before
The hacker was on so many exchanges getting rid of so much that I truly can't believe they didn't slip up somewhere along the line. They tried every single avenue possible.
I'm seriously impressed the price held as well as it did considering volumes are usually piddly. Buyers emerged out of nowhere. If you discount the XEM locked up in supernodes and foundation and developer funds it was probably a fair bit more than 10% of the supply.
It could take a while to get some momentum back though.
