Locked Away
From teen DeFi heroes to SEC villains. How Rari Capital suffered two devastating hacks, got charged with fraud, and vanished - leaving a graveyard of frozen funds and a lesson in what happens when code meets hubris.
Slow Burn
$126 million turned to ash as Manifold's founder Sam Bacha traded roadmaps for memes. From failed products to empty promises, another slow burn claims its victims. Where are the heroes when you need them?
Polter Finance

In Murky Waters
A billion-dollar game of chess, or a calculated move on a broken board? FTX's lawsuit against Humpy the Whale claims a billion-dollar exploitation, but does the evidence stack up, or is there more beneath the surface?
DeltaPrime - Rekt II
Audited multiple times, hacked twice in two months. DeltaPrime loses another $4.85M after ignoring explicit warnings about admin key security. Like leaving your mansion unlocked after security consultants kept telling you to change the locks.

North Korean devs secretly coded part of Cosmos Hub's Liquid Staking Module. Key figures allegedly hid this, sparking major security concerns. Now the community scrambles to audit, remove & mitigate risks. How secure is your slice of the crypto universe?
Tapioca DAO - Rekt
Another day, another private key theft, another protocol rekt. Tapioca DAO on Arbitrum suffers a roughly $4.4 million loss in a private key compromise. Some funds have been recovered, though the full extent of the damage remains to be seen.
Radiant Capital - Rekt II
Radiant Capital gets a $53M haircut. Thought multi-sigs were safe? Think again. Radiant's "robust" 3/11 setup crumbled like a house of cards. Exploited twice in 2024, the future of Radiant looks about as bright as a black hole.
