Jimbos Protocol offers deal to hacker, threatens police action
The deal was posted to both the Ethereum network and the protocol’s official Twitter channel. The team behind exploited decentralized finance (DeFi) app Jimbos Protocol has offered a deal to the app’s exploiter: Keep 10% of the funds and return the other 90%, or face prosecution. Otherwise, the team “won’t stop” until the attacker is “behind bars.” The proposed deal was disclosed in a May 28 tweet by the Jimbos team and posted to the Ethereum network.
