 <p>This forced CRV prices lower, and it was highly likely that Curve’s founder, Michael Egorov, who holds significant outstanding debts, would have been liquidated. He held several large positions; one of the most notable was his $70 million borrowing position on Aave and $12 million on Abracadabra.</p>
