Both the project's long article and that day's statement say that at 08:39:04 UTC on August 23, the person the project called Mr. White Hat published one private key of a 3-of-4 multisig wallet on-chain. The project took back the remaining 28,953 ETH and 1,032 WBTC, about $141 million. The USDT frozen by Tether had not been handed back yet.
