Aave Submits Emergency Motion to Lift the Restraining Order on ETH Frozen Due to the Kelp Vulnerability
According to Cointelegraph, DeFi protocol Aave filed an emergency motion in New York on Monday seeking to vacate a restraining notice issued by U.S. law firm Gerstein Harrow LLP, which prevents the Arbitrum DAO from transferring 30,766 ETH to victims of the Kelp exploit.
Gerstein Harrow LLP served the restraining notice on the Arbitrum DAO last Friday, asserting that its client is entitled to over $877 million in damages under a default judgment against North Korea. The firm claims that the North Korean hacking group behind the April 18 Kelp exploit previously held these tokens and that its client therefore holds a legal claim to the relevant ETH.
