On Tuesday, the team behind the project sent a message up the chain to the address holding the stolen funds. The message stated that if the exploiter did not return 90% of the funds within the next 24 hours, he would eventually be arrested.
“Follow up on our letter from yesterday. If 90% of the funds are not returned within 24 hours, tomorrow we will launch a $1 million reward for information leading to your arrest and the return of all funds.”
If the hacker accepts the offer, he would need to return about $176.4 million to Euler and keep $19.6 million in reward.
Then Euler sent another letter on Wednesday to the hacker again, requesting the return of 90% of the stolen money.
“The simplest way forward today is to return 90% of both DAI and ETH under your control to the EulerDAO locker address. Then the investigations can be stopped, and the focus here can shift to distributing that back to users of the protocol, without having to go down the legal route.” .
