@Atazhaia I think that one really takes the cake:
The ability to receive $1 trillion in USN out of $1 could have easily been used to drain the USN/USDT liquidity pool.
A trillion here, a trillion there—after a few rounds it does kinda add up, you know! Who knows, it might even have had a small chance to exceed the amount of dollars backing those stable™coins.

Supporting it by making it worse?

Well duh. They support the crisis itself, not the people affected by it.

For SHŌ Group CEO Josh Sigel that’s the whole point. “The currency, for us, is less important than the underlying tech that’s innate to NFTs,” Sigel says. “We want to make it as easy for people to buy as possible.”
Not charging $300k would be a good start.

I wonder, how much CO2 has been captured by the trees they've planted? How much CO2 was released by the trees they burned? Which number is bigger? I don't know, but have pretty good confidence in my guess.

Considering the whole tree (to the extent that matters) is made from atmospheric carbon, and less than the whole tree burned into carbon dioxide – remaining roots, lost leaves, current charcoal – believe it or not, I reckon the amount captured is actually bigger.

Assuming the newly planted trees had accumulated as much biomass as the ones that burned now, which is not very likely.

It appears that a crypto Twitter user named Cobie influenced the FBI into bringing an insider trading case. The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is bringing an indictment against a former Coinbase employee, who allegedly tipped his brother and his buddy about which assets were about to list on Coinbase — leading to $1.5 million in “realized and unrealized gains,” according to the indictment.

@izzion Here's a bit more detail:
In another Twitter thread, samczsun — a researcher at the crypto and Web3 investment firm Paradigm — explained that the exploit was made possible by a misconfiguration of the project’s main smart contract that allowed anyone with a basic understanding of the code to authorize withdrawals to themselves.
“This is why the hack was so chaotic,” samczsun wrote. “[Y]ou didn’t need to know about Solidity or Merkle Trees or anything like that. All you had to do was find a transaction that worked, find/replace the other person’s address with yours, and then re-broadcast it.”A further post-mortem from blockchain security auditing firm CertiK noted that this dynamic created its own momentum, where people who saw funds being stolen using the above method were able to substitute their own addresses to replicate the attack. This led to what one Twitter user described as “the first decentralized crowd-looting of a 9-figure bridge in history.”
In a more optimistic take, Nassim Eddequiouaq, crypto CISO at Andreessen Horowitz, suggested the funds could be reclaimed from the “whitehats that drained preventively,” though the identities of those that obtained the funds from Nomad appear to be largely unknown.
Yeah, right, "whitehats". Good luck with that.
