The hacker behind one of the largest cryptocurrency heists to date has returned almost half of the $600m (£433m) stolen assets.
On Tuesday, the firm affected, Poly Network wrote a letter on Twitter, asking the individual to get in touch “to work out a solution”.
The hacker then posted messages pledging to return funds, claiming to be “not very interested in money”.
On Wednesday, Poly Network said it had received $260m back.
The company, a blockchain platform which lets users swap different types of digital tokens, posted on Twitter that it had been sent back three cryptocurrencies, including $3.3m worth of Ethereum, $256m worth of Binance Coin and $1m worth of Polygon.
A total of $269m in Ether tokens and $84m in Polygon tokens has yet to be recovered.
