⚡🚨 SCANDAL - He traded $50 million… and received barely $36,000.... Someone attempted to trade $50 million in USDT for $AAVE via the Aave interface, but despite a warning of extremely high slippage, they confirmed the transaction.... Result: only $324 worth of AAVE received, or approximately $36,100. Aave founder Stani Kulechov announced that the protocol would reimburse approximately $600,000 in fees. Image ⚠ What if the $50 million “failed trade” on Aave wasn’t a mistake… but a money-laundering scheme? This is the theory put forward by some who believe it’s virtually impossible for someone to accidentally trade $50 million in a pool with barely $36,000 in liquidity. The wallet had apparently just been created, the funds came from Binance, and despite a warning of massive slippage, the transaction was confirmed. In the same block, an MEV bot reportedly borrowed $29 million via Morpho and captured nearly $9.9 million in profit. To some, the scenario resembles a technique already discussed in DeFi: intentionally making a catastrophic trade, letting an MEV bot extract the value, and then turning dirty money into “legitimate MEV profit.” In a way… an advanced money-laundering technique.
