The hacker who stole millions in Ethereum from Coindash in just 3 minutes has returned 26 million dollars and nobody knows why.

Months after having stolen a fortune in Ethereum, the hacker responsible for the theft of 43,400 ETH to Coindash has decided to return the equivalent of 26.2 million dollars in the cryptocurrency to the company, and so far no one knows why.

In mid-July of 2017, we told you the story of how a hacker or group of hackers managed to steal 7.4 million Ethererum in just three minutes during Coindash's ICO. And now, seven months later he has decided to return a large part of the booty.

At that time, the hacker had taken 43,400 ETH, which with the rise in the value of Ethereum in recent months, currently amount to 37.9 million dollars. The thief has already returned 30,000 units of the cryptocurrency to Coindash in two parts. He returned 10,000 ethereum in September of last year, and this Friday he returned some 20,000 ethereum.

Despite having returned the majority, retains even more money than he stole thanks to the rise in price of Ethererum.
This means that it still retains 13,400 ETH, that is, more than 11 million dollars, a value of almost 3 million more than it stole initially. While some believe that perhaps it has done so because it has also represented a huge gain, some experts suggest that the hacker possibly made the mistake of not washing the stolen ethererum immediately and now he can not move it because most cryptocurrency platforms have your address on a blacklist.

There are also those who believe that it is an internal work or a campaign created by the same Coindash to attract attention. The reality is that most ether has returned to the hands of the company while they say they are still working with the authorities in their country to catch the hacker.
