Look guys, it's actually really straightforward, a bunch of people staked their ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield, except they didn't want their capital to be locked up, so they actually staked with a liquid staking protocol called Lido who provided them a liquid staking receipt token called stETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer, except they didn't want to lock up their capital, so they actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided them with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called Aave so that they could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero that was hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry
This smarmy Marxist doesn't see taxes primarily as a way to provide necessary public services. He sees them as revenge. He celebrates the confiscation of wealth he did nothing to earn. This is pure class envy, and it's hideous.
Non-residents who spend millions of dollars on NYC apartments help drive NYC’s economy. Most of the profit in condominium development is in the penthouses. The Ken Griffins of the world make NYC high end development viable, driving high-paying construction, brokerage, legal, marketing, and other jobs in NYC. We should be applauding Ken for spending $238 million in NYC, not attacking him for doing so.
Importantly, non-resident owners of NYC apartments who leave their apartments vacant for much of the year are not a burden to NYC schools, services, or other resources while they drive growth in retail sales, restaurants, theater, and other important drivers of our economy. They also often support NYC non-profits with donations.
Ken’s company is a major employer in NYC of very high paying jobs which drive a considerable amount of our tax base. We wouldn’t want him to move even more employees to Miami.
These non-resident owners also already pay a lot of taxes including mansion taxes, real estate taxes, sales taxes and more.
While @NYCMayor Mamdani likes the tag line ‘Tax the rich.’ Unfortunately, his policies will harm the constituencies he is supposedly trying to help.
I can’t imagine the NYC construction unions are excited about his plan.

Bulk withdrawals are now live on Nifty Gateway.
You can now withdraw multiple NFTs in a single transaction.
As a reminder, Nifty Gateway customers have until April 23, 2026 to withdraw their NFTs.
Please note that bulk transfers may take longer than usual to process based on the volume and size of the transactions.
After this date, if customers have not moved their assets off the platform we will continue to work with customers to make sure that they are able to move their NFTs to their wallet of choice.
📢 UPDATE: Recovery Progress for Gondi Exploit
Since containing the exploit, our focus has shifted entirely to making affected users whole. Here is where things stand.
🤝 Items sold to third parties
Several NFTs were purchased by innocent buyers who had no knowledge of the exploit. We reached out to each of them directly and asked for their help in returning the items to their rightful owners.
The response from the collector community has been humbling. Collectors stepped up without hesitation. Thanks to them, we have already recovered and returned:
• Aluminum Gazer
• Servant of the Muse
• Doodle
• Lil Pudgy
We are in active conversations on additional items and expect more to follow, including Taxmen. We are grateful to everyone who has cooperated.
🔍 Items still in the exploiter's wallet
For NFTs remaining in the exploiter's wallet, we are pursuing two paths depending on the nature of the item:
• 1/1-of-X collections: We have already bought comparable items from the same collections and transferred them to affected owners, and will continue to do so for any remaining cases. While not the exact same piece, we believe this is a fair and meaningful resolution and are coordinating directly with each owner.
• 1/1s: We are working hard on recovering these items and are in active discussions with the relevant parties. We are committed to finding a good resolution for every affected collector.
💙 A note on the situation
Every item recovered so far has been bought back using Gondi's own protocol fees. We made that decision immediately and without hesitation, because it was the right thing to do.
It is also worth reiterating: NFTs in active loans were not affected by this exploit, and were never at risk at any point.
🔒 Security confirmation
The Gondi protocol has been reviewed and confirmed safe by two independent parties: the team at Blockaid and an independent auditor. Sell & Repay feature remains disabled while we develop and deploy a fix.
All other platform functionality is fully operational. The NFT space runs on trust. We take that seriously and will continue to post updates until every affected user has been fully resolved.
Gondi is safe to use.
Onwards.
⚠️ UPDATE: Gondi Security Incident
We have new information on the exploit.
What we now know:
• The exploit appears to affect NFTs that are NOT currently in active loans
• It is tied to an approval vulnerability on the affected contracts (Purchase Bundler)
• NFTs held as collateral in active loans do not appear to be at risk at this time
What you should do right now:
→ Do NOT repay your loans until we confirm it is safe to do so
→ Revoke approvals for the affected contract immediately via https://t.co/9V6aioEKtc
→ Do not initiate any new activity on the platform
Affected contracts: (All Purchase Bundler)

If you have a loan that is about to expire and need to take action, please do NOT interact with the platform directly. Instead, open a support ticket in our Discord and the team will assist you personally.
We will post another update as soon as we can confirm it is safe to resume normal activity. Thank you for your patience — we are working as fast as possible.

For clarification:
It does not create a general global-taxation regime for all French citizens.
It targets high-income French nationals who relocate to jurisdictions with very low taxation.
It applies for six years after departure.
It allows a foreign-tax credit to avoid double taxation.
It is subject to France’s double-tax treaties, which in practice could override it for many countries.
