Initially, total losses from the hack were estimated at $47m. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/hacks\">Defi Llama<\/a>, the sum has risen to $61.7m.<\/p>\n<p>In early August the hacker <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/curve-hacking-hacker-returns-part-of-stolen-assets\">partially returned the funds<\/a>, transferring assets valued at more than $20m to the JPEG\u2019d and Alchemix projects. The attacker received the promised 10% reward of the amount.<\/p>\n<p>Curve said that if the hacker fully reimbursed the stolen funds, they would drop the case.<\/p>\n<p>In a transaction message to Alchemix, the attacker explained that the decision to return the assets was not fear of being caught, but a reluctance to destroy the project.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Perhaps to many people this is a lot of money, but not for me.
