You see, this is the one instance where I am completely on the grifter’s side.

So is code law or not? How dare they prosecute him for the undeniable immutable truth of the blockchain? They even passed a resolution in their stupid DAO that they wouldn’t!

I fucking hate libertartian hypocrisy of actively opposing any and all regulations, but running to the Man when they get screwed. You setup the stupid game, you’re responsible for the stupid prices. If anyone should be sued here it’s the fucks that created Mango with this vulnerability and allowed this hack in the first place. That shit isn’t even real money!

Absolutely childish behaviour, reminds me of people in fucking elementary school that would run crying to the teacher after losing a bet because “they weren’t for real” and “just kidding”. I guess I shouldn’t expect more from a community whose basically first order of business was calling backsies because they were on base or whatever the fuck.

it’s even better than that - Avi had previously filed suits against other DeFi entities for market manipulation. The DoJ used this fact as evidence that he knew damn well that what he did here was illegal.

Eisenberg also fits certain libertarian stereotypes.
