as i said, we will know more if and when we regain access to the server. an exit scam worth 0.5 btc after months of work is just ridiculous. why bother for that?? he is not from a poor countyr and was needing the money. . if it was a number of btc then it would make more sense
Yep, the hacker was a bit dumb also. I image if he waited for a few months a year and then pull it when there was more liquidity in the market and privacy was at a higher price.T he coins would be gone and he would have a nice payday . Now all he got was mickey mouse money if that

You are right and this was also good for the project. If the hacker had known what you just explained and worked with that, then this would have been some bad news for the project and he would be sitting on some cool $ in some couple of months/year as the case maybe. I most say kudos to the Devs for the quick interference and the exchange too for their usual support. 👏👏👏
