20. I still have the pre-sale tokens in my wallet. The team however lost all their ETH here. Seems they're still going to go on with the ICO but this will no doubt hurt the value of MASS tokens when they release.

Jesus Christ what the fuck.

They were using the parity multisig wallet for the presale, but because the contract couldn't be edited it was vulnerable until the sale ended. They worked with the white hat group to try to raise enough benevolent funds to end the presale but couldn't do it. They didn't want to advertise this obviously because then it would be exploited.

But it sounds like they just got contacted that it was actually a benevolent actor so the funds are saved

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> the white hat group was attempting to help but even they couldnt get ahold of the

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> we knew there was 2 conditions, both of which we were prepared for *IF* we got to them first

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> 1) we have enough to buy out the contract, we managed to come up with 1000eth

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> so if at any point the contract needed 1000eth, we would instantly do what just happened

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> 2) block end, we had a script set up to basically bring eth's blocks to its knees for the last blocks of the contract calling the end so our contract would wipe it and send it to us

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> we tried all of our contacts to raise more money temporarily and came up short handed

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> we couldnt say anything because it would just make us more of a target for someone who had the money

<MASSTelegram> <yaksbeard> we had everything in place to protect it after the multisig hack the only possible way would be an attacker with more funds than we had waiting, which is what happened

Because to end the sale you needed to buy out all the rest of the available tokens. Whoever bought it out didn't have enough so had to wait for people to buy more MASS so they needed less ETH to buy out the contract

word on the street (bullshit) is that they were "keeping it quiet" to let the TRUE FANS get their shekels in before the BULLWHALES MONOPOLIZE the "initial" scam offering

They had planned on advertising the presale a few days after it started but once they discovered the vulnerability they ended that plan. They'll advertise for the ICO for sure.

On Wednesday, July 19th, 2017, an exploit was found in Parity’s multisig

wallets. This exploit allowed anyone to take control over said wallet

and perform any regular function, including transferring ether and

killing the wallet. The presale contract that was launched had a

multisig wallet that was vulnerable:

https://etherscan.io/address/0x63c0f17c1f72e1315e3d4f8a89a37d95f1314793#readContract

Due to the nature of the presale contract, it was impossible to change

the contract owner or outgoing address where the funds are sent. Once we

learned of this exploit, we suspended all advertising and contacted the

White Hat Group as well as other key Ethereum experts on our next steps.

We were given a contract to be used to buy out the remaining presale and

end it all in one fell swoop, sadly, we were not able to secure enough

funding to completely buy it out. In the interim, we had a server setup

and running performing the following:

• Check if the presale contract is sold out. If it is, takeover the

wallet, call endPreSale, and get the funds out of the wallet in one block.

• Check if the presale contract had < 1000 Ethereum left to sell. If it

did, we’d call the aforementioned contract to buy it out, end the

presale, and recover the funds in one block.

• Check if the current block is within 5 blocks of the presale ended.

If it was, it would start sending commands to a contract to start the

recovery process without the use of any extra funds.

Due to the exploit, we were unable to publicly announce anything since

anyone could have come in and simply killed the multisig wallet, thus

locking the funds in the contract forever. Instead, we contacted trusted

parties to try and secure funds to try and buy the contract out.

At 10:15pm EST, July 24, 2017, the presale contract was sold out and

drained in one block. At first, we assumed the party responsible was not

working with our interests in mind and had come to the conclusion that

the funds were lost. Several minutes later we received an email from a

white hat hacker that submitted proof they had the funds and are willing

to return them in full. We are still working with this person to secure

the funds, but steps must be taken to ensure that both parties are who

they say they are.

Regardless of your opinion of Ethereum, this only proves there are a lot

of good people in the community that want to help out in any way they

can. More updates to follow as we receive them.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us here, or on

Telegram or Slack, or IRC.

As always, thank you again for your support.

What i don't get is, what incentive does the "white hat" have for returning the funds (it's $2 million!). And why would the "white hat" not give the team a heads up beforehand?

Some people still have morals in this world

I tried to think through "oh man I remember they mentioned parity a week or two ago in the telegram, what if I'd been the one to steal their ETH?" and realized if I had I'd feel like absolute shit for the rest of my life

So maybe it was a greyhat who felt guilty idk
