The hacker behind a major cryptocurrency heist has finally returned all of the stolen funds.

Decentralized finance platform Poly Network reported earlier this month that over $600 million USD in various cryptocurrencies had been stolen by hackers, considered to be one the largest cryptocurrency heists ever.
