The attacker, also a Nexus Mutual member, completed KYC (know-your-customer) 11 days ago and switched to a new address on Dec. 3, before gaining remote access to Karp’s computer and modified MetaMask wallet extension, according to the company’s tweets. That tricked him into signing a different transaction that transferred funds from his hardware wallet to attacker’s address.

How stupid can this CEO be or, should I say, how lame is that excuse?
It won't be long for the funds to be returned if they really identified the attacker assuming what was sent for KYC verification was his real data. The CEO also said that it will be difficult to cash out the hacked tokens but he still offered a $300K bounty hehe.

An easy $300K for the "attacker" huh?

I think the attacker already have a plan to withdraw it also I don't think the person (Is that the CEO?) will drop the case after the attacker returned the WNXM. What do you think about it? Is that something like a trap or he really dares to give $300k bounty?
How will one know that there is even a hacker? Maybe the team steal the tokens themselves and now puting up a show? Probably the hacker will accept and get the 300k for payment? Sorry I don't trust crypto developers anymore, they can go any lent to come out clean
