Someone Stole Less Than $1,000 From MetaMask's Validators. MetaMask Is Pulling $1.4 Billion of ETH Out of Staking Because of It

The theft was under $1,000. The response: roughly 17,000 validators holding about 523,000 ETH, worth around $1.4 billion, are being exited by October 7. Ethereum's exit queue is at a nine-month high, and Lido says the full exit and re-entry cycle could take up to 45 days.

The group used bundles of 70 to 200 wallets, got its own wallets exempted from the launchpad's anti-sniping tax, grabbed 82-86% of supply within seconds of launch, and used each rug's proceeds to fund the next one. Robinhood's new chain is less than three months old.
