Crypto personality and creator of C.R.E.A.M. Finance Jeffrey Huang, aka "Machi Big Brother", has filed a defamation lawsuit against crypto sleuth zachxbt. Huang alleges that zachxbt has defamed Huang with false claims via a Medium article that accuses Huang of multiple pump-and-dump schemes that enriched Huang to the tune of 22,000 ETH (~$38 million at today's prices).

Huang is also annoyed at zachxbt's observations about the multiple hacks of C.R.E.A.M. Finance, which zachxbt wrote had been exploited three times "due to negligence". "Putting aside that Cream Finance was exploited two, not three times", Huang hilariously writes in the lawsuit, taking issue with the fact that zachxbt supposedly intentionally omitted that some funds were returned and that Huang claims to have been no longer involved with the project by that point. It's not made clear in the lawsuit which of the three hacks recorded on Web3 is Going Just Great — to the tune of $37.5 million (February 2021), $25–30 million (August 2021), and $130 million (October 27, 2021) — supposedly didn't happen.

DeFi platform C.R.E.A.M. is hacked for a third time, this time for $130 million

Crypto lending service C.R.E.A.M. Finance lost $130 million in a flash loan attack. It was the third hack of the platform this year, following a $37.5 million hack in February and an $18.8 million attack in August.

C.R.E.A.M. Finance exploited again, this time for $25 to $30 million

A vulnerability in C.R.E.A.M. Finance allowed a re-entrancy attack to steal somewhere between $25 and $30 million from C.R.E.A.M. finance in its second multimillion dollar hack of the year.

$37.5 million stolen from C.R.E.A.M. lending platform

A hacker was able to code a smart contract that tricked C.R.E.A.M. into believing it was from a trusted source. They were then able to make off with $37.5 million worth of Ethereum and stablecoins in what was only the first of several major exploits of the platform in 2021.
