The attackers used a classic price-manipulation trick: they flooded Odin’s unaudited trading pools with worthless fake tokens, artificially inflated their value, then drained 58.2 BTC ($7M) from the system. Blockchain data traced the heist to two meticulously prepared accounts: a ‘Sleeper Cell’ that sat idle for 53 days, and a freshly funded ‘Attack’ account that sprang to life to coordinate the drain. This marks [Odin.Fun](http://Odin.Fun)’s third multi-million dollar hack since February 2025. [Ethereum censorship by validators has dropped to near-zero: the healthiest state the network has seen in years](https://x.com/eth_everstake/status/1954937430903226849) [Turkish crypto exchange BtcTurk hacked for $49M after $55M loss last year](https://protos.com/turkish-crypto-exchange-btcturk-hacked-for-49m-after-55m-loss-last-year/) BtcTurk suffered a fresh $49M exploit just over a year after its $55M loss. The exchange acknowledged “suspicious withdrawals” on X and said user funds won’t be affected. Cyvers flagged drain activity across seven networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, and multiple ETH L2s. [Do Kwon pleads guilty to defrauding investors over $40B Terra crash](https://protos.com/do-kwon-pleads-guilty-to-defrauding-investors-over-40b-terra-crash/) Do Kwon stood in a New York courtroom and admitted he helped defraud investors in the $40 billion Terra collapse. Wearing a yellow prison jumpsuit, he told Judge Engelmayer he knowingly joined a scheme to deceive buyers of Terraform Labs' cryptocurrency. Kwon specifically confessed to lying about how the failed UST stablecoin's 'peg' was restored and fabricating another company's role in the project. This guilty plea to wire fraud and conspiracy ends months of legal delays. After initially fighting extradition from Montenegro and pleading 'not guilty' as recently as January 2, Kwon reversed course following 'productive talks' between prosecutors and his defence team.
