Fenbushi seeks to recover $42 million through bounty offer
Fenbushi offers up to 20% reward to recover stolen funds

​Fenbushi Capital co-founder Bo Shen has announced a bounty to help recover $42 million lost in a hacking incident. He is offering 10–20% of the recovered amount as a reward.

About $1.2 million in assets has already been frozen.

The hack occurred in 2022 due to a compromised crypto wallet seed phrase. The attacker drained multiple assets, including USDC, USDT, ETH, and Bitcoin.

The funds were moved through crypto services and exchanges, making them difficult to trace.

New technologies offer recovery 

According to Shen, tracking tools were less advanced at the time of the attack. Today, the situation has improved thanks to analytics and AI-driven solutions.

This has provided new insights into the movement of funds and allowed investigators to resume the case.

The case shows that even years later, stolen crypto assets can sometimes be traced. However, full recovery remains uncertain.

Why seed phrases are a key risk

A seed phrase is the main access key to a crypto wallet. If it is compromised, funds can be withdrawn with no way to recover them.

Most major crypto hacks are linked to leaked private data rather than protocol vulnerabilities. This case highlights the importance of security and the growing role of tracking tools that may reshape how such incidents are investigated in the future.

Earlier, Irish police regained access to a wallet holding 500 BTC after its keys were believed lost for 10 years.
