The 'Lazarus' hacker group is now burning 15,000 ETH on-chain.

Why? Because they're unable to unstake, swap, or withdraw its cmETH (probably thanks to Mantle), so the group now would rather burn it than to undergo a potential negotiation.

TLDR: $42M worth of ETH is now 'officially' out of circulation. (provided mantle don't 'print' them)

ggwp, win for the ETH people. (sort of)
