Poloniex Offers $10M Bounty to Hacker Who Stole $100M in Crypto, Threatens Police Action
-
Poloniex says it has identified the hacker who stole over $100M in crypto and is giving them a last chance to return funds for a $10M bounty.
-
Poloniex sent an on-chain message in 15 languages stating the hacker's identity is confirmed and police forces will take action if funds aren't returned.
-
Some community members doubt the hacker's identity is truly known since Poloniex sent the message in so many languages.
-
The hack happened in early November when over $100M was drained from a Poloniex wallet.
-
Poloniex initially offered a 5% bounty for the return of funds, disabled the hacked wallet, and enlisted a security firm to enhance protections.
