Liquid attackers offer to return most of 4,000 BTC

Attackers behind the Liquid breach have offered to return most of the roughly 4,000 BTC stolen. The offer creates a path to significant fund recovery but leaves uncertainty about the exact amount, timing, and any legal or enforcement outcomes. Partial restitution would likely reduce immediate selling pressure and limit realized losses for Liquid customers. The incident nonetheless highlights ongoing custodial risk and the relevance of on‑chain forensics and official pressure in recovering stolen crypto.
