A timeline of events in the EMN scandal
Andre Cronje, founder of Yearn Finance, hyped a surprise launch.
Eminence Finance contracts were deployed by the Yearn Finance deployer, and Andre tweeted and retweeted as liquidity flowed in.
Kirby, head of communications at Yearn Finance, was promoting the contracts even giving instructions on how to mint and buy.
Banteg, the Yearn Finance developer, was selling tokens bought from the contract to Uniswap right until the contracts were hacked.
The hacker drained the entire $15 million that had been locked up in liquidity by using a flash loan exploit. The hacker then returned $8 million to Andre, and was misappropriated.
Andre tweeted, after the hack, that neither Eminence’s contracts nor ecosystem are final, and that he wasn’t planning on releasing the project for at least another three weeks.
If EMN was a test, it had zero value as a token.
Yet Andre watched as $15 million poured in without a word.
But kept hyping the project by retweeting.
Why didn’t he at least warn the Yearn Finance team that they were buying and selling a worthless test token?
If developers from any other team started hyping and selling a test token, they would be accused of fraud and the entire team would lose legitimacy.
At best, this was a viral launch gone bad, at worst, it was a rugpull.
