The hacker behind one of the largest cryptocurrency heists to date has returned almost half of the $600m stolen assets.
This is really very interesting. He stole one of the largest amounts and again returned half of it!!

As much as there are news that the hacker only did it with the intention of exploiting the weakness of the exchange, we should still bear it in mind that these funds belong to the people and it is the people that will lose.
I sincerely do hope that he returns the funds.
No, the hackers intention is to really stole money from Poly that's why he did it. He may have been casing it for months, which the usual hackers do. But he forgot his exit strategy as obviously he didn't make himself invisible or at least have to be track. So the only way to somewhat not get arrested is to return the money. But it is still stealing so hopefully the authorities can follow the trail and arrest him for good and make him regret his decision to hack and took all that money.
