Sillytuna reports $24M AUSD theft after violent attack as on-chain trackers follow funds
On March 4, 2026, DeFi trader Sillytuna reported losing over $24 million in AUSD and other assets after a physical attack and coercion to transfer funds. The stolen stablecoins and BTC are now parked across several Ethereum and Bitcoin addresses, with parts bridged to Arbitrum, while investigators monitor movements. A 10% bounty has been offered for any returned funds, as protocols debate blacklisting policies instead of freezing assets outright.
