So far, the price of $258 million in encrypted assets has rebounded, and hackers claim that they have guaranteed the safety of the remaining funds when negotiating with Poly.

Poly Network hackers recently returned $258 million to the cross-chain DeFi protocol, and detailed questions and answer sessions, but the initial hacker failed.

Due to the largest DeFi hacking to date, Poly Network suffered a $612 million attack on August 10th. Hackers stole the assets of Ethereum, Binance Chain, and Polygon Network.

Tom Robinson, the chief figure of the blockchain analysis company Elliptic, told Forbes on August 11 that so far, hackers have refunded approximately US$258 million in funds to Poly, but there is still US$342 million to be refunded.

The perpetrators have repeatedly stated that their tempers want to return the stolen funds, which has led some people to think that this will be a white hat hacker and show Poly fashion lessons about its security vulnerabilities.

However, Robinson basically did not share this view. He declared that the return of funds “shows that although you will steal encrypted assets, because of the transparency of the blockchain, money laundering and cashing are very troublesome.”

Hackers performed AMA (Ask ME Anything) by using embedded messages in Ethereum transactions. Although they don’t seem to be native English speakers, what is lost in the translation is their magnificent settings.

When asked why they want to hack and why they use the Poly protocol, hackers said “for fun” because “cross-chain hacking is very popular.”

Despite this answer, they continue to assert that this hack was for noble purposes, because they need to transfer tokens between addresses just to keep them safe:

“When I realized this mistake, I had a mixed feeling. Ask yourself, what have you done to make you face so much wealth. Ask the project team in a polite way so that they can solve the problem? Anyone could be A billion traitor. I won’t trust anyone! The only solution I will return is to save it in a trusted account.”

“Now everyone smells of conspiracy. Inside story? Not me, but who knows? I have a responsibility to show the loophole before any insider hides and exploits it!” They superimposed.

Users on Twitter pointed out that hackers are asking about ways to deposit funds into Tornado currency, which may be a decentralized protocol that allows non-public Ethereum transactions.

The perpetrators were also asked why they had been trading and exchanging some of the taken stablecoins. During this period they replied: “I am very angry with the initial reaction of the Poly team.

The Poly team wrote to hackers yesterday urging them to return the stolen assets because “the law enforcement agencies of any country can treat it as a major economic crime, and you may be pursued.”

The hacker went on to say: “They urge others to blame and hate me before I have a chance to reply!” They have no intention of laundering money:

“At the same time, depositing into the stables may earn some interest to hide the potential value so that I have more time to negotiate with the Poly team.”
