The hacker left a line of messages accusing the EDE team of fraud, indicating that the project could take advantage of a price manipulation “backdoor” to liquidate users’ positions whenever they want.

“ede admins created a bot to force liqudate any position of their choice when ever they like ask the admins about it, see if they lie to you.”
