    Wintermute declares friendship over with Near Foundation and Aurora Labs after they refuse to send $11 million

    By ApeSpaceNovember 9, 2023

    “Public service announcement or ‘how we are not really friends with Near Foundation and Aurora Labs going forward'”, wrote Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy on Twitter. He launched into a thread accusing Near and Aurora of refusing to honor a previous agreement to facilitate the redemption of around 11.2 million USN, the de-pegged stablecoin of the Near network. Wintermute said they had helped FTX to sell that quantity of the USN tokens, providing them with dollars to disburse to creditors, under the belief that Near and Aurora would help them honor the USN redemptions at $1.

    However, Near later decided it would not honor the redemption, accusing Wintermute of trying to pull off an arbitrage trade with the distressed asset. They also, somewhat curiously, claimed that the funds that were provided to Wintermute by the FTX estate may have been the tied to illegal activities. Aurora also described Wintermute’s claims as “unfounded”, and accused Wntermute of “tr[ying] to exploit the programme to profit from the purchase of distressed assets from the Alameda estate”.

    Wintermute has promised to “pursue all legal avenues” against the Near Foundation and Aurora Labs.
