In August 2021, something shocking happened in the world of crypto.
Poly Network, one of the biggest DeFi platforms, was hacked.
The hacker stole over $610 million USD — the largest crypto heist in history.
The entire crypto community was in panic.
People were scared.
Was their money safe?
Even top platforms like Binance immediately responded, helping to track and freeze some of the stolen assets.
But then... something strange happened.
Instead of disappearing with the money, the hacker started returning it.
Yes — the same hacker who pulled off the biggest theft was now giving the money back!
He called himself "Mr. White Hat."
He claimed he was just helping Poly Network find security flaws.
But many experts were suspicious.
If he was really a "good guy," why did he move the funds around like a real thief at first?
Some believe Mr. White Hat got scared after seeing Binance and other exchanges trace the stolen coins.
Others think maybe it was an inside job from the start — a setup to test DeFi security, or even to boost Poly Network’s fame.
The biggest question still remains:
Who was Mr. White Hat?
No one knows.
No real identity was ever revealed.
And no official punishment was given.
In fact, Poly Network even offered him a $500,000 "thank you" reward!
Today, the Poly Network hack is remembered not just for the amount stolen — but for the weird twist that followed.
It reminds us all:
In the world of crypto, anything can happen.
Heroes and villains can sometimes look the same.
That’s why platforms like Binance keep pushing for better security every day.
Stay safe. Stay alert. In crypto, even trust can be hacked.
