The KyberSwap hacker, responsible for the $48 million exploit, demanded full control over the Kyber company and its assets, both on-chain and off-chain, including shares, equity, and tokens.

In exchange, the pirate promised to buy out the company's executives at a fair valuation and promised to double employee salaries under the new regime. He wrote that while some may not want to stay, they will still receive a 12-month severance package with full benefits and assistance finding new careers.
