Immunefi CEO Mitchell Amador has stated that the individual behind the Liquid Network exploit lost any claim to 'white-hat' status by retaining 598.5 Bitcoin (BTC) after returning a larger portion of the exploited funds. According to Crypto.news, Amador indicated that the retention of these funds, following the return of 3,400 BTC from an estimated 4,000 BTC exploit, crossed the line into theft.
