One piece of advice I want to humbly give wives: If you feel you must share information about your husband in his presence, please look at him as you speak about him to others. The eye contact is romantic, yes, but more importantly, frequent glances will help you realize when you need to pivot urgently for damage control. ๐๐พ

The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves Iโve seen in crypto.
First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT.
Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC.
At that point, it looked like the hackerโs money was trapped.
But apparently, he had already planned for that.
Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.
Then he walked away.
Thatโs where the story gets crazy.
Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet.
But it canโt freeze the ETH he already borrowed.
So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH.
And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back.
Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.
But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them.
Pretty insane when you think about it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The described Aave deposit used only ~60M USDT as collateral to borrow 19,762 WETH before freezes hit the main wallet, not the bulk of funds; Aave states the overcollateralized position is subject to normal liquidation with no material protocol risk.

The Internet will have to shut down completely. It's all compromised. So at some point everything that is attached to the Internet will have to shut down with it. I believe we are very close to that happening. To start the new Internet we must start everything new. Be prepared.
