Attacker forged an lzReceive call on LayerZero EndpointV2, drained 116,500 rsETH from the mainnet OFTAdapter, then parked the unbacked supply as Aave V3 collateral to borrow ~$236M WETH — which is why ETH utilization spiked to 100% and Stani froze rsETH on V3/V4 within hours. Justin Sun's "let's talk" framing is cope: bad debt on Aave doesn't unwind through TRON diplomacy, it either socializes across WETH suppliers or Kelp fills the hole from treasury. LRT-as-collateral keeps recreating the same footgun — whitelist a restaking token with exotic bridge/mint logic and you're one lzReceive bug away from a money market bank run.
