ChainCatcher news, Sun Yuchen once again accused FDT of fraud. He stated: First Digital Trust (FDT) openly disregards all fiduciary duties and regulatory norms, claiming to represent Techteryx in managing a securities portfolio of up to $501.8 million for the Aria Commodity Finance Fund in its own legal name. According to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO), any individual or company providing securities portfolio management services must hold a Type 9 license from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, unless the service is limited to its wholly-owned subsidiaries or provided by its 100% owned parent company. Clearly, FDT is not only ignoring the fundamental principles of the trust industry but is also openly contemptuous of Hong Kong's banking and investment laws. In other words, its actions have completely disregarded Hong Kong's regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies.Furthermore, Sun Yuchen believes that FDT has not only fallen into negative assets but has also had negative net assets for three consecutive years. By the end of 2024, its net assets are projected to be negative HKD 100 million. This does not include the massive losses caused by its large-scale misappropriation of user assets.

We have never moved or invested funds without explicit written instructions from Techteryx or its authorized representatives. All reserve assets are deployed strictly according to the written instructions provided by Techteryx and its authorized representatives at the time. We have records of all written instructions as evidence.Regarding Techteryx's request for fund redemption, ARIA has expressed its anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) concerns regarding the acquisition transaction between TrueCoin and Techteryx, as well as the identity of Techteryx's ultimate beneficial owners. As of today, Techteryx has refused to provide the information requested by ARIA.We reiterate that FDT remains fully solvent, with each FDUSD fully backed by cash and cash equivalents at a 1:1 ratio. The exact ISIN numbers of all reserve assets supporting FDUSD are clearly listed in our certification report and are available for public verification. We are processing redemption requests as usual. We are seeking legal advice, and FDT will take legal action to protect its rights and reputation."

However, it seems that the number of active validators on the testnet is insufficient, and the developers lack confidence in advancing the plan. Therefore, they decided to give more time over the weekend for more active validators to join Holesky, and to coordinate large-scale penalty actions by Monday at the latest. If you are running a Holesky validator and have not yet attempted to bring it back online, please do so as soon as possible and delete your slashing protection database. Additionally, a reminder that during the Holesky event, another vulnerability affecting Geth and Nethermind clients was reported through the Pectra audit competition.

After reading it, there are more questions than answers, and the questions that come to mind include:--- What does "compromising the Safe {Wallet} developer machine" mean? How did they compromise this specific machine? Was it social engineering, a virus, etc.?--- How did the developer machine access "accounts operated by Bybit"? Did some code get deployed directly from this developer machine to prod?--- How did they deceive the Ledger verification steps among multiple signers? Was it a blind sign? Or did the signers fail to verify correctly?--- Is $1.4 billion the largest address managed using Safe? Why didn't they target others?--- What can other "self-custody, multi-signature" wallet providers and users learn from this?
