According to CoinDesk, the legal team for the KelpdDAO hacking victims has moved to change the legal theory to seize $71 million worth of frozen ETH related to the incident. In court documents, they argued, “This incident is not simple theft, but a loan based on collateral fraud,” adding that “assets acquired through fraudulent means can also be legally recognized as owned.” They also explained that the North Korea-linked Lazarus Group borrowed actual ETH using worthless rsETH as collateral, emphasizing that assets related to North Korea can be seized under the U.S. Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA). Previously, Aave had requested the lifting of the freeze order, stating, “Temporary possession of stolen assets does not imply ownership. The frozen assets belong to the victims who were stolen from, not the thieves (North Korea) who stole them.”
