The shutdown comes in the wake of the October 2022 exploit, where attacker Avraham Eisenberg carried out a MANGO price manipulation scheme. Using just $5 million in USDC as initial capital, Eisenberg executed a series of trades that artificially inflated the MNGO token price by approximately 1,000%. This manipulation allowed him to borrow against greatly inflated collateral values, draining $117 million from the protocol. After the attack, the Mango Markets team attempted to negotiate with the attacker, offering a bug bounty in exchange for returning the stolen funds. Legal proceedings against Eisenberg started in October 2024, with charges of fraud and market manipulation that could result in up to 25 years of imprisonment. Even though he initially defended his actions as a “highly profitable trading strategy,” Eisenberg had attempted to negotiate keeping a portion of the stolen funds through a governance proposal. The unanimous governance vote supporting the shutdown is an indicator of the community’s acceptance of the platform’s fate.
