The governance proposal is expected to pass unanimously, with 100% (295,244,521) of votes currently in favor.<a href="https://optimisus.com/market/market-news/mango-markets-exploiter-facing-regulatory-consequences-says-moodys/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mango Markets</a> reached a total value locked (TVL) of nearly $200 million at its peak. However, in October 2022, Avraham Eisenberg manipulated the price of MNGO tokens, taking out a $120 million loan, leading to a sharp decline in MNGO&#39;s price and significant bad debt.The DOJ, CFTC, and SEC launched investigations into Eisenberg&#39;s actions, and he was arrested in December 2022 and charged with commodities fraud, manipulation, and wire fraud.Eisenberg&#39;s legal team is currently seeking either an acquittal or a new trial, arguing that the original trial was improperly held in the Southern District of New York.
