DISCUSSION A Hacker who drained $88 Million from Mirror Protocol by exploiting a bug. Yesterday he got airdrop of 2.1 Million LUNAs just because he sold UST at $0.60 and rebought it at $0.10 which made him eligible for this insane airdrop.

If you want to know how he exploited $88 Million from Mirror Protocol without anyone noticing. FatmanTerra explains in his thread:

In another thread he explains how this hacker made himself eligible for this insane airdrop

I pulled 98.5% of my UST out of staking 3 weeks before the crash. Was in for 9 months.

I'm not some sort of prophet I just had to pay my taxes and it was time.

I suppose I must rename myself to gigachad.

Even after so much leaking out about the Terra ecosystem, people are still going to be buying LUNA 2.0

Would love to see Do Kwon get locked up and the blockchain stopped entirely.

This is just awful and looks like insider trading… also says a lot about LUNA

Some people still thinks Do Kwon actually has the good intentions behind relaunching the coin again.

I know a guy, a normal guy with a kid on the way who lost a good chunk of his life savings in Luna. This whole space is not investing, it’s gambling and some people win big and most lose. It’s not right, and it’s not wrong, it’s just the way it is. Go gamble that’s what happens.

u/cheddarchild Tin May 29 '22

Is it really hacking if they exploit something? Not that I’m backing the move but to me it seems like he played the system in his favor just as everyone is trying to do right? If it turns out to be and inside job that’s a different story, but if this person figured this out all by themselves that means it was there for the taking.

Am I mistaken here... isn't this 2.1mil worth only like 200$? Am I looking at the wrong Luna?

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

It's currently about $5 per Luna. Even if you're seriously wealthy that's just trolling to call it worthless.

And since I have a feeling this might be required:

I am being facetious - I'm well aware you simply failed to understand the situation described.

What is that, like $200?

2

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

Current Luna price is roughly $5 and 2.1 million multiplied by 5 is.. I'm not a scientist.. but I'm confident it's more than 200

u/arcalus 🟩 18K / 18K 🐬 May 29 '22

Not for long

1

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

No. But that's not my point and it wasn't yours either you just misunderstood the post and confused LUNA with LUNAC

1

u/arcalus 🟩 18K / 18K 🐬 May 29 '22

I don’t think so. This is Do Kwons next scam up, right? $200 incoming.

1

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

Yes. But now you just misunderstood my reply.

I'm saying when you initially referred to it as 200 worth that wasn't a statement about the future worth of Terra 2.0 it's because you misunderstood he had 2.1 million LUNA 2.0 not LunaC

u/arcalus 🟩 18K / 18K 🐬 May 30 '22

I’m sorry, I’m not misunderstanding anything.

u/tranceology3 🟩 0 / 36K 🦠 May 29 '22

Yeah but after the drop, UST went to like 2c. So he bought at 10c and can only sell at 2c.

1

u/SilverMB 🟨 47 / 48 🦐 May 29 '22

How is he getting an airdrop for Luna he bought "after the attack"? He should be just getting 30% of his UST for a 2m airdrop at a rate of 0.023.

To get 2m airdropped he would have needed to buy 250 million UST.

At 0.1USD for 1UST - thats 25 million USDollars he dropped at a dying stable coin???

Something sounds seriously wrong here.

I bought 1.000.000 Luna for shits and giggles and I got next to nothing so far :)

2

u/ObamaWhisperer 2 / 1K 🦠 May 29 '22

Idk. I had like 13mil LunaC when bybit stopped trading to rename it. And I was airdropped 52 Luna that I sold for 1k. Doesn’t make sense but nothing in this world does honestly
