phalse phace writes: Robert Leshner, the founder of Compound Labs, just sent out a tweet pleading its users to return the $90.1 million in COMP tokens it accidentally deposited to user accounts.
Users of the popular DeFi staking protocol received the platform’s crypto tokens after a system upgrade went epically wrong. As an incentive, Leshner told users to “keep 10% as a white-hat. Otherwise, it’s being reported as income to the IRS, and most of you are doxxed.” In another tweet Leshner explains what happened: “A few hours ago, Proposal 62 went into effect, updating the Comptroller contract, which distributes COMP to users of the protocol. The new Comptroller contract contains a bug, causing some users to receive far too much COMP. All supplied assets, borrowed assets, and positions are completely unaffected. Users don’t have to worry about their funds; the only risk is that you (or another user) receives an unfairly large quantity of COMP.”
