The White Hat Team, whose current members are publicly unknown, has successfully recovered more than seven million ETC, currently valued at around $16 million, by transferring the funds to an address whitelisted by the DAO curator who is known to be working with WHT or has transferred curatorship to WHT.
Alex Van de Sande, one of the previous members of the team, stated he was no longer part of WHT, having left once the hardfork succeeded.
It is not therefore fully clear who exactly transferred the ETC and what they plan to do with the funds, but, since stolen property was recovered, we’d assume it would be returned to the rightful owners.
