[The "Negotiation Script" After the Whale Was Robbed of 50 Million USDT: 48 Hours Ultimatum]
A major piece of news broke in the crypto world yesterday—a large holder fell victim to a phishing attack and had 50 million USDT stolen overnight. Normally, such incidents end there, but this time, the victim has chosen a different path.
The victim's address directly addressed the attacker on the chain, announcing that a case has been filed and that they are coordinating with multiple law enforcement agencies and security companies to monitor every on-chain action of the attacker 24 hours a day. Interestingly, they presented a "multiple choice" question: if 98% of the assets are returned within 48 hours, the attacker can legally receive a $1 million white hat bounty; if they refuse, global legal pursuit will be initiated.
This case indeed opens up new ideas. In the decentralized crypto world, where exactly lies the boundary between "retrieving" and "negotiating"? In major theft incidents, victims communicate directly with attackers on-chain; can this practice become an industry standard? How will attackers ultimately choose, to accept a bounty or continue to hide? These questions are worth discussing. What do you think of this operation?

This trap is too damaging, 50 million said to be scammed just like that, white hat bounty of 1 million? Who are we targeting?

I have to say this guy is really ruthless, directly putting 50 million on-chain for confrontation, this is the kind of courage a crypto world player should have. To be honest, I’ve long thought that such Large Investors being hacked is too passive, it’s really rare to see someone who can impose restrictions in this way.
However, that being said, does the attacker dare to take this bounty... I really don’t believe it, it feels like it’s going to be difficult to wrap up.

Haha, this operation is really outrageous, on-chain "shouting" threats are truly daring to play.

This guy's method is incredible, directly "negotiating" on-chain is much faster than calling the police.

Wow, this guy is really tough, directly "negotiating" with a Hacker on-chain? 50 million just disappeared like that, I would have gone crazy by now.
