According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, an address that received 7,400 ETH from Tornado (hacker?) dominated tonight's liquidation event of CAKE and THE collateral, resulting in Venus incurring a liquidation deficit of about $2.15 million (1.18 million CAKE + 1.84 million THE), while the hacker obtained approximately $5.07 million in funds from Venus (2,172 BNB + 1.516 million CAKE + 20 BTC):

  1. The address first received 7,400 ETH from Tornado through the address 0x7a7...234, then deposited it into Aave to borrow 9.92 million U (including USDT, DAI, USDC) and transferred it to multiple wallets to purchase THE.
  2. Around 8 PM tonight, he likely pumped the price of THE in a CEX (it is presumed he had previously deployed long positions). Then, through two wallets, he deposited 36.1 million THE into Venus, borrowing assets like BTC, BNB, CAKE, etc.
  3. Forty minutes later, the price of THE plummeted (most likely due to his closing of long positions and opening of shorts), and his collateral on Venus was liquidated, further pushing down the price of THE. Ultimately, the collateral from these two wallets was completely liquidated, but there remained about $2.15 million (1.18 million CAKE + 1.84 million THE) in loans that had not been repaid, resulting in a deficit for Venus.

Overall, he borrowed 9.92 million U to create chaos, but the assets borrowed from Venus were only worth $5.07 million. While it may not seem profitable on-chain, it is speculated that he aimed to dominate the decline of THE through on-chain liquidation, thus making a profit on his positions in the CEX.
