Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that BlockTower’s main hedge fund had been compromised, and the assets were still missing. The attacker has not been apprehended, and the firm did not disclose the specific amount of funds stolen.
BlockTower has hired blockchain forensics experts to investigate the case, according to the report. The firm did not immediately respond to The Block’s request for further comment.
