Victim Recoups $5.5 Million in Rare Refund After $6.91 Million Ether Theft

On May 26, a victim who lost 1,807 liquid staked Ether, valued at $6.91 million, reportedly received a significant portion of the stolen funds back from scammers. “Yesterday, the old phishing group Inferno Drainer used the permit offline authorization signature to phish away nearly US$7 million in ETH re-pledged assets from a user,” wrote Yu Xian, co-founder of blockchain analytics firm SlowMist. “Today, they actually got a refund, which is really rare.” That same day, Scam Sniffer posted on X that the victim recouped 1,445 Ether, or 80% of the stolen funds, after the scammers allegedly kept a 20% bounty.
