Soon after an unknown entity “rescued” $5.7 million worth of STEEM tokens from a “New Steem” hard fork seizure, Bittrex confirmed that the funds reached their account. The crypto exchange now faces a difficult decision of what to do with the 23.6 million STEEM tokens allegedly stolen from Steem witnesses.
In a May 21 statement, Bittrex co-founder Richie Lai confirmed that the entity of the transaction initiator, the account named “community321,” remains unknown so far. Lai pointed out that there is an allegation that the account could be hacked outside of Bittrex.
