  Fantastic to see US law enforcement hunting these scammers down one by one https://twitter.com/...

  I can't say I'm surprised at all. They're coming down hard on these people. It's excellent for the industry. I didn't actually think Avraham Eisenberg was his real name either and I can't really understand why he would use his real name. Kinda dumb https://twitter.com/...

• @cryptonator1337 @cryptonator1337 on x

  @avi_eisen @SummersThings ‘Racz said Eisenberg may have known his actions were illegal as well, as the day after the Mango Markets exploit, Eisenberg flew from the United States to Israel.’ ‘May’? Of course he knew. I wish fun in jail. https://cointelegraph.com/... https://twitte…

  “By being on both sides of the transaction, Eisenberg artificially inflated the price of MNGO relative to USDC, allowing him to borrow and then withdraw $110 million of different cryptocurrencies, the complaint said.” https://www.reuters.com/...

  Mango exploiter, one of largest UST onchain shorters, and one of largest Waves onchain attackers, arrested by DoJ in Puerto Rico https://twitter.com/...

• @bradmillscan Brad Mills on x

  Wow, Mango Markets exploiter arrested. What does this mean for all of the shill-a-coin valley VC funds & trading firms who used “MEV” and “flash loans” in DeFi to do similar things as what Avi did with Mango Markets. a16z, Jump, multicoin, etc all did DeFi market manipulation. ht…

  I mean what did he think is going to happen after publicly talking about the price manipulation he has committed. That wasn't a smart move.. https://twitter.com/...

  Avraham Eisenberg, the crypto investor whose “highly profitable trading strategy” drained DeFi trading platform Mango Markets of crypto worth $110 million, was arrested Monday in Puerto Rico, court documents said https://www.coindesk.com/...

  The big brain gymnastics to think that half of crypto being a giant ponzi filled with crime akshually pushed the price down are incredible. People straight up stole tens of billions in retail cash and used to buy crypto. That absolutely led prices to be higher than otherwise. htt…

  avi gets charged with commodities fraud and commodities manipulation, yet the biggest surprise is that the FBI figured out how to read a solana block explorer

• @sicarious_ @sicarious_ on x

  The biggest crime Avi committed is repeatedly pulling an Algod on Twitter. If you hit a 8 to 9 figure payday through questionable means, maybe don't brag about it on Twitter or use your dox'd ens. https://twitter.com/...

  Avi arrested for market manipulation offenses. We should delay the end of the year as it seems that 22' is very productive year to clean up our ecosystem. Puerto Rico seems to be a very good base for those type of people. But nothing better than Dubai, right? https://twitter.com/…

  So public resources are being used to protect the integrity of unregulated DeFi markets? https://twitter.com/...

• @enchiridion47 @enchiridion47 on x

  I don't see how anything eisenberg did was illegal I think his mistake was flashing the bag, government thieves can't resist trying to steal when they spot a target like that Don't see a huge risk of jail, looks like a shakedown

• @coinmamba @coinmamba on x

  Few more arrests then up only..

• @phtevenstrong @phtevenstrong on x

  @Tree_of_Alpha I'm conflicted here. The mango exploit ruined the protocol—but he didn't hack anything, he exploited normal use of the platform. I hope he wins. We need better tokenomics and safer protocols, not more defi users charged for criminal actions.

  And, this is what all the ICO, XRP, Core pampers and related shills have coming. If you ever claim a guarantee in a token, or you lie about capability, or misrepresent a coin (BTC) thus is your future. https://twitter.com/...

  Exploits a protocol, pretends he didn't, argues that it was actually legal once evidence becomes too overwhelming, then VERY publicly loses out on a Tether short and a $CRV squeeze RIP bozo and all of the losers who thought he was chad by proxy lmao What a run

• @collins_belton Collins Belton on x

  While not surprising, @avi_eisen's arrest may raise some interesting questions for on chain arbitrageurs and businesses like MEV. Some of the focus on sanctions compliance in the latter space in particular should probably be diverted to thinking about manipulation issues. https:/…
