The timing was notable given that Thiel had been singing the praises of crypto around that time. He also appeared at Bitcoin 2022 in Miami.

To be sure, it appears that Founders Fund kept some of its holdings, and who knows what Thiel holds personally.

Still, Thiel called the timing right, given the broad decline in digital asset prices to follow.

The SEC says Avraham Eisenberg attacked trading platform Mango Markets and exploited it for some $116 million — and that the platform’s governance token, MNGO, is a security.

Eisenberg faces charges elsewhere from the DOJ and the CFTC.

As The Block reported, Eisenberg allegedly used a series of manipulative trades to artificially boost the price of MNGO and then used those funds to borrow other assets, which he then allegedly withdrew from the platform.
