Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Avi Eisenberg, a crypto trader who manipulated Solana's Mango Markets in October 2022, was convicted of commodities fraud and manipulation by a U.S. federal jury. Eisenberg manipulated the DEX using collateral pumping to borrow $110 million from Mango without repaying it. His legal team argued that his actions were completely legal by the rules of the smart contracts, but the prosecution successfully asserted that he acted with fraudulent intentions.
