Back Weex US law firm applies to block the transfer of Kelp attack, freezing ETH, involving ...
According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. law firm Gerstein Harrow LLP has applied to the court for an injunction to prevent Arbitrum DAO from transferring frozen Ethereum assets related to the Kelp attack.
The law firm claims that its clients have obtained default judgments in three cases against North Korea, totaling approximately $877 million (including punitive damages and interest), and assert a right to claim the related assets.
Previously, Kelp DAO was attacked on April 18, resulting in losses of $292 million, which is believed to be related to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group. Subsequently, the Arbitrum security committee urgently froze approximately 30,766 Ether ( $73 million).
The incident has sparked controversy. Some community members believe that if the injunction takes effect, it will delay the return of funds to the victimized users and shift the North Korean-related debts onto secondary victims. Previously, Aave Labs had proposed to unfreeze the funds and inject them into a compensation fund to restore the damaged assets.
It is worth noting that Gerstein Harrow has previously filed claims regarding assets stolen by North Korean-related hackers and frozen by cryptocurrency platforms, including the 2023 Heco Bridge incident. Industry analysts believe that this case may have a demonstrative impact on the disposal of DAO assets and the definition of cross-jurisdictional claims.
