A U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico has issued a detention get for Mango Marketplaces attacker Avraham Eisenberg.
In a court docket filing, Magistrate Choose Bruce McGiverin considered it vital to detain Eisenberg on the grounds that “no condition or mix of ailments of launch will fairly assure the defendant’s look [in court] as needed.”
Eisenberg was arrested previous 7 days and billed with commodities fraud and commodities manipulation for his role in past October’s $110 million Mango Marketplaces price manipulation exploit—an attack which, at the time, Eisenberg argued was executed inside the regulation, and performed in the pursuits of Mango Market’s depositors, citing “undesirable personal debt” from Mango Marketplaces bailing out Solend in June. He also gave again most of it.

Eisenberg’s vocation of exploits
Just one point is true of Avraham Eisenberg: Mango Marketplaces was almost certainly not his 1st attack. As one eagle-eyed blogger mentioned, Eisenberg’s name was previously related to a $14 million DAO con.
Eisenberg had pitched a stablecoin undertaking named FortressUSD (FUSD) to a DAO identified as FortressDAO devoid of disclosing that he would be sole controller and proprietor of it. When they poured in funds, he converted them to FUSD and made off with the entire treasury—at the time, he was the DAO’s Chief Specialized Officer.
Amid an outcry from investors on Twitter, Eisenberg agreed to give back again adequate income to partially fulfill them.
In November, a month immediately after attacking Mango Markets, Eisenberg attacked Aave with a related exploit that eventually backfired, probably costing him hundreds of thousands.
