The hacker behind one of the largest cryptocurrency robberies has returned $260 million of the $600 million stolen assets from blockchain platform company Poly Network.
Before the money's return, Poly Network asked the hacker to get in touch to work out a solution.
The hacker, claiming to be not very interested in money, replied by pledging to return the funds.
The company, which lets users swap different types of digital tokens, announced via Twitter that it had recovered $256 million worth of Binance Coin, $3.3 million of Ethereum, and $1 million of Polygon.
Ether tokens valued at $269 million and Polygon tokens worth $84 million have yet to be returned.
In a three-page-long Q&A self-interview, the hacker claimed to conduct the heist to point out vulnerabilities in Poly Network software and took millions of dollars in cryptocurrency tokens to make a point.
The hacker, who added that it was part of the plan to return the tokens, said that only "important coins" were taken, leaving behind Dogecoin.
Poly Network's platform facilitates movement between several blockchains when people trade one cryptocurrency for another, such as trading Binance Coin for Ether.
