Avraham Eisenberg, who was recently found guilty of fraud and market manipulation in relation to his $110 million heist from Mango Markets, has been charged with possession of child pornography.

The court documents that are dated April 3, but were released on April 26, allege that some of the images in his possession were of prepubescent minors who were under the age of 12.

The allegations have not been proven in court.

A prior court document filed in August revealed that the material was first discovered on Eisenberg’s cell phones and laptops during an initial search of them related to the charges of market manipulation and fraud.

Upon discovery of the material, the Government applied for and obtained a second warrant, expanding the scope of the original warrant to search for evidence of offense related to the possession and receipt of child pornography in February 2023, court documents read.

The child pornography charges were first reported by investigative journalist Christopher Brunet, who also claims to have screenshots of Eisenberg “talking about children in really disgusting ways.”

Aave Is Surrendering the Throne of DeFi Lending Due to Its Own Stupidity

Aave, a leading DeFi lending protocol, is facing a severe crisis and losing its dominant market position due to its poor handling of a recent security incident. The crisis began when Kelp DAO suffered a hack resulting in a loss of $292 million in rsETH. In the aftermath, approximately $17.2 billion in funds flowed out of Aave as user panic escalated. The article criticizes Aave's crisis management as "extremely foolish." Instead of promptly offering reassurance or committing to cover the potential bad debt—estimated between $123.7 million and $230.1 million, which Aave could have afforded—the protocol initially deflected blame, emphasizing that its code was not at fault. This delay and lack of a clear guarantee led to widespread user anxiety, triggering a bank run-like scenario where users withdrew funds or borrowed aggressively from other pools, causing liquidity shortages. Meanwhile, Aave’s competitor Spark—a fork of Aave’s own code—has benefited significantly. Having removed support for rsETH months earlier, Spark avoided any losses from the incident and has since seen its TVL grow by nearly $2 billion, attracting major deposits such as over $1.24 billion from Justin Sun. Spark has actively capitalized on the situation, publicly criticizing Aave’s security reputation. Although Aave’s founder Stani eventually announced a relief plan named "DeFi United" with several partners and a personal donation, the damage to user trust and capital outflows may be irreversible. The article concludes that Aave is losing its throne in DeFi lending to aggressive competitors like Spark, Morpho, and Jupiter Lend.
