Judge Overturns Key Convictions in $110M Mango Markets Crypto Case
Referenced by
U.S. District Court judge overturned conviction against Avraham Eisenberg for allegedly defrauding Mango Markets of $110 million, stating that the evidence did not support the jury’s conclusion that Eisenberg made materially false representations as Mango Markets was a permissionless and automatic DeFi platform without terms and conditions, making it legally impossible to deceive, and therefore Eisenberg exploited flawed but legally accessible smart contract mechanics rather than committing fraud
