Court Trial Date For Mango Markets Exploiter Now Set In April

The court trial of Avraham Eisenberg, the hacker behind the $114 million exploit of the decentralized exchange Mango Markets, has been postponed to April 2024. 

In a court filing on November 2, US District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York Arun Subramanian granted Eisenberg’s motion for continuance after his lawyers argued that several factors had interfered with the defendant’s preparation for a trial.

The Multi-Million Dollar Mango Markets Exploit: Justice Delayed? 

In one of the biggest crypto hacks in 2022, the Mango Markets DEX was drained of approximately $114 million on October 11, 2022, by a hacker who exploited a vulnerability of the protocol smart contract.

The attacker, who was later revealed to be Avraham Eisenberg, opened two accounts on Mango Markets, funding both accounts with about $5 million worth of USDC each.

Thereafter, Eisenberg, using third-party exchanges, placed large orders for the Mango Markets native token MNGO, offering to buy this asset at an unusually high market price.

This action caused MNGO to experience a 10x price increase from about $0.04 to $0.50 on Mango Markets, as determined by a third-party oracle based on MNGO’s prices on these third-party exchanges.

The MNGO price inflation raised the value of the exploiter’s deposited collateral – already converted to MNGO – allowing the bad actor to obtain massive loans from the Mango Markets platform, which he quickly moved to other wallets on other platforms.

In December 2022, the US Department of Justice arrested Eisenberg in Puerto Rico on charges of fraud and market manipulation, as ordered by the US attorney of the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams. 

Now, the court trial, which was initially set for December 4, 2023, has been moved after Eisenberg’s lawyers claimed the US prosecutors had provided a “voluminous discovery”  on a “rolling basis” and will require sufficient time to analyze these documents.

While the plaintiff did oppose this claim, stating that a one-week continuance to December 11, 2023, at best, was sufficient for Eisenberg’s preparation, the judge eventually ruled in Favour of the defendants, moving the court hearing to April 8, 2024.

Both the US prosecutors and Eisenberg’s lawyers have been ordered to submit a revised schedule for pretreat motions and submissions by November 7, 2023. 

Eisenberg Faces Multiple Battles

Following the exploit, Mango Markets and Eisenberg entered into an agreement in which the hacker returned $67 million worth of the loot and would be allowed to retain the remaining $47 million. 

However, in a lawsuit in January 2023, Mango Markets filed charges against Eisenberg, claiming the supposed agreement was under duress, and now seeks to recover the remaining $47 million.

In addition, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have also filed individual lawsuits against Avraham Eisenberg, accusing the exploiter of MNGO market price manipulation.

$3 Million Stolen In ‘Kraken’ Crypto Con

The surge in online scams has drawn heightened regulatory attention towards the crypto industry. A recent case serves as a vivid reminder of the risks involved, where a Connecticut resident became a victim of a significant scam, losing more than $3 million to individuals falsely purporting to be associated with Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. The victim, who remains unnamed, was based in Westport and followed advice to transfer funds out of a retirement account, intending to reinvest the money in an account supposedly linked to Kraken. However, their decision led to more than $3 million swiftly disappearing into crypto wallets they could not access. Recovery Of Stolen Crypto Funds Fortunately, the victim sought help from law enforcement, and local detectives, collaborating with the state’s Organized Crime Task Force, launched an investigation. This diligent effort enabled them to trace the transactions and freeze accounts involved in the scam. While they managed to r...

Space loves AI, AI doesn’t love Space

Space-related applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning are often confined to the ground because moving AI onboard satellites, while promising, is significantly more difficult. “Running AI in space is like running a marathon on the moon — impressive if achieved, but limited by the environment,” said Sylvester Kaczmarek, chief technology officer at OrbiSky Systems, a London startup focused on AI edge operations. Advanced processors are power hungry, meaning satellites with onboard AI require large solar panels and extra batteries. Plus, “radiation in space can fry electronics,” Kaczmarek said. Power management is another problem. Many AI devices require very high currents at low voltages. “The demands that AI devices place on power management are new to the space industry,” said Bert Vermeire, Voyager Space chief technology officer. “There are no good solutions with space heritage and it is difficult to identify efficient and small form factor power and manageme...
