Liu told, that I am not sure about the possibility of returning funds.

«Hacku: We ask you to do the right thing and return the funds. You have already demonstrated your crash skill, We will be happy to hire you as a security consultant. If you return all funds, We will not pursue you in any way. We ask us to think about hundreds of innocent people, which you hurt, and return funds ", - wrote Liu.
