Hello. I'm from Russia. I'd like to request a refund of some of my funds from DRIFT! It was over $10 million! These funds are for the children's fund for victims of SVO! I'm offering you a percentage of the refund! You transfer ETH from the amount we confirmed (drift), and we'll transfer you white tokens, such as Monero or cash! Please reach out via Blockscan chat.
안녕하세요, 한국의 친구 여러분, 저는 러시아에서 왔습니다. 한국과 러시아 모두에게 남은 친구가 얼마 남지 않았습니다. 저는 러시아와 한국이 앞으로도 아주 오랫동안 우정을 이어갔으면 좋겠습니다. 드라이프트 해킹을 위해 여러분이 해낸 작업은 정말 놀랍습니다. 정말 훌륭했어요. 여러분의 기지를 칭찬하며 악수를 청하고 싶습니다. 하지만 안타깝게도 저도 제 자금을 잃었습니다. 제 자금을 돌려주실 수 없을까요? 저는 드라이프트에 314,000달러를 가지고 있었습니다. 부탁드립니다. Hello, friends from Chosun, I am from Russia. Both Korea and Russia have few friends left. I would like Russia and Korea to continue being friends for a very long time. Your work on hacking Drift is impressive, it was magnificent, I shake your hands for your ingenuity. But unfortunately, I also lost my funds. Could you please return my funds, I had $314,000 in Drift. Please.

This is a message from a victim, I know this scammed money I will never see in this life ,blockchain has no rules It has laws , Now I think of that the money I lost I could have travelled to some places and maybe enjoyed my time with my mother but here I am ,I did put around 65k usdc that all I saved and made from brc20 and stuff ,It was 60K but in years this had grown to 75k .I never spent this money on myself and thought I will enjoy it later and my fate has met me I feel completely numb I am from third world country , For the drift team I have nothing much to say the founders will roam free and continue their life they also express grief for publicity while sipping coffee just like that another project turned into dust I see CT saying attack vectors but they forget real people like us have our life ruined also last thing SOL community is just max extraction, solana made many tweets and promoted gambling projects that die in a week and they simply delete it after doing the extraction. The Drift team is who rugged us not you keep every eth and vanish just like you guys do . In next Life I will try my best , You won .
You don’t need to make a deal with the drift team. If you can’t use your money or have other problems, you can give some of it to those who ask for it. Start with me first :D. Don’t be so greedy, my friends; God doesn’t love the ungrateful.
Hello. As you can see yourself, the Drift team does not know how to conduct a dialogue. Drift's money is in your accounts, which means you set the rules at the negotiation table. Everyone understands that the Drift funds on your accounts are practically impossible to return. In order for all Drift users to get their funds back, you need to want to return them yourself, because no one can force you to do it. But you can already earn a huge amount of money now, just need to discuss your percentage for the white hat, and besides, no one will try to hunt you down. I am the manager of one of the Vaults strategy on Drift, and therefore I also want this situation to be resolved as soon as possible. If you want to discuss all the details, it is better to communicate through private mail, like Proton, rather than through the blockchain where everyone will be reading your messages. I have direct contact with the Drift team, I can prove it. If you want to have a short and constructive dialogue about your white hat reward, here is the mail: alexdk1987@proton.me Or suggest your option for getting out of this situation. Information for everyone else: if the funds are returned, they will be sent from white hat addresses directly to Drift's official wallets, I am not claiming someone else's money.
