79thVault Gets $11 Million Back, With Two Rates for How Much Is Back
The loss was listed at 16,249 BNB; a separate count says 17,881.
79thVault got its BNB back; the coins were worth about $11 million at the time of the return, per TokenPost[1]. The loss was first put at 16,249 BNB, so the money back is about 92 percent of that[2]. A separate on-chain count put the total at 17,881 BNB, which would make the money back near 84 percent[3]. No wallet label is attached to any of it.
Who ran the theft and where the rest sits has not been shown[4]. Coldcard said a post with a phishing link “was published from this account. It has since been deleted.”[5]
What to do: no action needed — Coldcard says no money lost has been tied to the October 11 phishing try[6].
