 The Curve Finance team and I have been working to solve the liquidation risk issue which happened today. Many of you are aware that I had all my loans liquidated. Size of my positions was too large for markets to handle and caused 10M of bad debt. Only CRV market on…— Michael Egorov (@newmichwill) <a href="https://twitter.com/newmichwill/status/1801255607137165390?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">June 13, 2024</a>

Egorov borrowed $95.7 million in stablecoins (mainly crvUSD) against $141 million in CRV collateral over five distinct protocols. Following a partial liquidation, his position was $95.7 million in stablecoins (mainly crvUSD) borrowed against $141 million in CRV collateral on those protocols. 
As <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/13/curve-founder-faces-liquidation-as-crv-token-price-drops-28/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/13/curve-founder-faces-liquidation-as-crv-token-price-drops-28/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> earlier by the CryptoTimes, Micheal Egorov was facing liquidation risk for his $20.6 million debt collateralized with 111.87 million CRV ($33.87 million) across four platforms. 
Egorov’s overleveraged position caused a cascade effect, resulting in significant bad debt totaling around $10 million. Egorov assured the community that he is working with the Curve Finance team to resolve the bad debt through a tweet. 
Egorov also revealed that he has already repaid 93% of the debt to help the affected user. He further plans to settle the remaining amount promptly. This initiative is crucial to prevent further disruptions and mitigate losses for other users on the platform. 
Curve Finance, known for its stablecoin-focused automated market maker (AMM), is likely reviewing its protocols and risk management strategies in response to this event.
