I believe an arrest was already made... at least one hacker has been caught!

Any credible new source about the arrest?

Honestly, it's my first time hearing about this incident, even when it happened 5 years ago and was bigger that most crypto exchange hacks that have ever happened in this space.

The Bitcoins that were stolen from the mining pool, were they owned by the mining pool itself or the miners had a stake in them? If the miners had a stake, how is it that they didn't make any noise when maybe Lubian stopped payments and shutdown?

I have not seen any reliable news confirmed an arrest from what I understand the stolen BTC belonged to the mining pool but if miners had a share in it that could explain why payouts stopped and the pool disappeared it is possible it just was not widely reported so most miners moved on without making any much noise.
However it have come across any sold new confirming that anyone actually been arrested from what I gather the stolen bitcoin was tried to the mining pool but if miners had a share in those funds it would explain why payment suddenly stopped and pool went offline the strange thing is how little noise it made maybe it just did not get much coverage back then so most miners quietly switched to other pools and move on.
