CertiK: The Merlin DEX incident is an internal rug pull, and information has been submitted to the relevant law enforcement agencies
ChainCatcher news, CertiK posted on social media that it has confirmed the previous "Merlin DEX was hacked for 1.82 million dollars" incident as an internal Rug Pull. CertiK explained that they initially attempted to collaborate with the remaining members of the Merlin team, but some core members were unwilling to prove their true identities. This lack of cooperation complicated CertiK's workflow for verifying and assisting victims.CertiK is working with law enforcement and has submitted information to relevant agencies in the United States and the United Kingdom, having frozen 160,000 dollars of the stolen funds. They will continue to monitor the movement of all stolen funds in an attempt to freeze and recover the remaining amounts. In the future, CertiK will prioritize centralized risks in audit summaries to ensure users are fully aware of potential risks, and it is our responsibility to communicate risks clearly and transparently.Previous report, the zkSync ecosystem DEX Merlin was attacked on April 26, leading to a depletion of liquidity, with attackers stealing 1.82 million dollars.
