“ede admins created a bot to force liqudate any position of their choice when ever they like ask the admins about it, see if they lie to you.”

Hacker promises to return the above assets if the EDE team admits it, keeping only 10% as a white hat fee. And then 334,000 USDC was returned.

After receiving the warning, the El Dorado Exchange team admitted to manipulating prices but with the active purpose of putting hackers on the project’s blacklist, protect user assets, and not have the intention of cheating. However, EDE officials have yet to issue any response on official social media.
