EraLend: If the hacker returns the stolen funds, they can choose to keep 10% as a white hat bounty, and the team will no longer pursue accountability

ChainCatcher message, the zkSync ecological lending protocol EraLend has addressed the hacker on Twitter, stating the following:

We know that during yesterday's attack, you could have drained all available liquidity, but you chose to only steal a portion. We believe this is your expression of "goodwill," or a potential concern for the victims and the widespread impact of the severe attack.
However, your actions are illegal and have had a destructive impact not only on the 500,000 EraLend users but also on the entire DeFi community. We have reached out to security professionals, CEX, the broader DeFi security community, and law enforcement agencies. We are tracking the traces you left before and after the attack, both on-chain and off-chain.

Therefore, we propose: please return 90% of the stolen funds to the following address by July 27th, 14:00 (UTC), and we will stop pursuing you. You can peacefully keep 10% of the stolen funds as a white hat bounty.

The receiving wallet address is: 0x9eEE479DCf6075a0cb905c27e8F952910c3bb69D.

If the stolen funds are not returned by the deadline, we will have no choice but to escalate this matter. Transactions will be terminated, and we will immediately set up another bounty for anyone who helps us prosecute you and recover the stolen funds. Please make a wise decision. (source link)
