According to ChainCatcher, blockchain analyst Specter disclosed that a wallet which lost 50 million USDT in a phishing attack has now left an on-chain message for the attacker.

The wallet address currently holding the stolen funds is under round-the-clock monitoring. The attacker has been issued a 48-hour deadline to return 98% of the stolen assets to a designated address.

If the funds are returned within the given timeframe, the attacker will be allowed to keep $1 million as a white-hat bounty, recognizing their role in exposing the security vulnerability. This offer is strictly conditional on full cooperation and timely compliance.

Upon successful recovery of the funds, the victim has stated that the matter will be considered fully resolved, and no further action will be taken.

However, if the attacker fails to comply, the case will be escalated to national and international law enforcement agencies, with efforts to identify the attacker and pursue criminal and civil liability.
