Let’s correct this pile of defamatory nonsense before your imagination gets any further ahead of the facts.
THENA was never hacked. The attack occurred on Venus Protocol, where an attacker exploited a known architectural weakness in Venus Compound-forked lending system. Specifically, the attacker bypassed Venus supply cap through its “donation” mechanism, manipulated the vTHE exchange rate and oracle pricing, and borrowed roughly $14.9 million in assets against artificially inflated collateral.
This was not some spontaneous THENA “hack.” The attacker spent approximately nine months accumulating a massive THE position, ultimately controlling around 84% of Venus THE supply cap. The operation was reportedly financed using nearly $10 million in stablecoins borrowed against ETH, with the ETH traced back to more than $16 million received through Tornado Cash. Venus own post-mortem describes it as a “sophisticated, premeditated attack” exploiting a known gap in Venus’s supply-cap enforcement.

So no, THENA was not “hacked,” planned or otherwise. Venus infrastructure was exploited using THE as the attack vehicle. Those are entirely different facts, although facts clearly seem optional in your version of events. Stop manufacturing conspiracy theories from your keyboard.
