The MEV bot that drained over 6,000 Ether from the Curve Finance pETH-ETH pool has returned most of the funds to the JPEG'd deployer. The bot's address sent a message on the Ethereum blockchain to prove their email address was associated with the frontrunning bot, which led to negotiations and the partial return of funds. However, all other exploited funds are still under the control of the attacker who initiated the exploit, and the Curve team is attempting to get the rest of the funds returned. This is an ongoing story and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
