They didn’t even bother to steal all the money, a huge amount was left vulnerable. Also, specifically to liquid, they have back doors to halt the system so reporting it to them can likely get the issue locked down faster than you can exploit it.
Finally, they kept 15%? That’s not even remotely white hat behavior. They just wanted to use the term “whitehat” to reduce risk of FBI.
