Cetus is asking the hacker to return all but $6 million, or 2,324 Ether, of the stolen funds in exchange for a promise not to pursue legal action. The protocol lost $223 million to an exploit on May 22.

"In exchange, you can keep 2,324 ETH (~$6M) as a bounty, and we will consider the matter closed and will not pursue any further legal, intelligence, or public action," the message said, adding that legal actions will commence when stolen assets are moved off-ramp or mixed.
