He Stole $40M from GMX. Now He’s Sending It Back. The Plot Thickens.
The hacker is RETURNING IT.
But not because he was caught. Because he made a deal.
The GMX V1 exploit wasn’t just a bug it was a DeFi chess move.
No one saw it. No devs raised alarms. No alerts triggered.
Funds evaporated from the pool. In silence.
Then the twist.
The hacker sends a chilling on-chain message:
"Ok. Funds will be returned later."
And just like that money starts coming back.
Millions. Piece by piece.
Is it a bounty? Blackmail? Inside job?
Welcome to DeFi in 2025 where smart money hacks smarter code.
And we’re just getting started.
