Bent Finance informed its users of a “possible exploit”, but soon after issued a statement that the exploit had originated from the Bent Finance project’s own deployer. Because of this, some speculated that it may have been a rug pull. Bent said in a statement, “There are multiple members on this team and we will make this right. We recommend you withdraw all funds until it is clear.” The platform hasn’t revealed how much money was lost, though a crypto fraud investigator wrote that 440 ETH (equivalent to about $1.8 million) appeared to have been funneled out of the platform. The attack was discovered on December 20, but appeared to have been ongoing since at least December 12, and possibly longer.

Total loss estimated at $1,800,000.
