Attacked Ethereum Classic hacker returned to the exchange Gate.io of $100,000
Representatives of the Gate exchange.io reported that the organizer of the 51% attack on the Ethereum Classic network returned $100,000 in cryptocurrency. The company stressed that they could not contact the hacker and do not know the reasons for his action.

Earlier, the site promised to compensate users for $200,000, which they lost due to the attack of 51% on the altcoin network.
