Crypto Trader Eisenberg’s $110M Fraud Trial to Put DeFi Under Microscope

In court on Monday, prosecutors and defense teased upcoming testimony from Mango’s founder, Dafydd Durairaj. He spoke with a ransomware negotiator for assistance in the wake of Eisenberg’s trade, prosecutors said. This fact, they argued, could help the jury understand that Durairaj did not view the negotiations as an “arm’s-length” deal between two parties, but rather a hostage situation that could implode at any time.
