This bounty, amounting to 225,000 USDC, is intended to incentivize the return of the funds, and additional details are available on Arkham’s bounty platform here.

Should a full recovery not occur, Aark Digitial has indicated that it will announce a distribution plan to address the situation appropriately. The organization has set a deadline of 26th October 2024, 15:00 UTC, for the responsible party to respond, stating that it is prepared to pursue legal measures if the funds are not returned within this timeframe.
