Aave fights court-ordered $73 million ETH freeze, argues ‘a thief does not own what he steals’
The Block
Aave is legally challenging a court order freezing $73 million in recovered ETH, asserting the funds belong to victimized users, not hackers.Summary
Aave LLC has filed an emergency motion to lift a court order that froze $73 million in ether recovered following the April Kelp DAO exploit. While plaintiffs from terrorism judgments against North Korea attempt to claim the funds by linking the exploit to the Lazarus Group, Aave argues that these claims are speculative. The firm maintains that even if the connection were true, the assets belong to the original Aave protocol users rather than the bad actors, asserting that "a thief does not own what he steals."
