From the address, we could find that the exploiter was able to call the smart contract and was able to mint additional MEKA tokens. After minting the MEKA tokens he then used them to swap for 641 BNB, hence draining the entire liquidity. Further, he then transferred those BNB to another account and finally to TornadoCash.
