Victim of multi-chain theft (ETH, BTC, SOL) offers 20% white-hat bounty for asset recovery within 48 hours.
Security & Exploits ·
An entity whose wallets were drained across Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana on October 17–18, 2026 has posted an on-chain message offering a 20% white-hat bounty to whoever holds the stolen funds. The offer requires return of 80% of the assets within 48 hours, after which the matter will be escalated to law enforcement and blockchain monitoring services already tracking the three compromised addresses.
The victim specified separate return routes for different asset classes: Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens including RLS, USDC, and USDT should be sent to a designated Ethereum address, while Bitcoin and Solana return instructions are available via a Telegram contact. The bounty structure effectively incentivizes immediate recovery over protracted dispute or asset obfuscation.
The 48-hour deadline and subsequent handoff to law enforcement remains the key constraint. It is not yet clear whether any portion of the stolen assets has been moved, mixed, or remains in the original wallets, nor whether the thief will engage with the recovery offer.
