$ETH

According to CoinDesk, lawyers representing North Korean terrorism victims filed a 30-page opposition brief in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, reframing the April 18 rsETH exploit — which drained roughly $230 million from Aave — as fraud rather than theft. The legal distinction is critical: under U.S. law, fraudsters who obtain property through deception can acquire legal title to it. Attorneys also invoked the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA), arguing federal anti-terrorism law supersedes Aave's state-law challenge. A Manhattan court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6. DeFi United's industry recovery fund has reached $327.95 million — more than four times the disputed $71 million.
