Avi seems to be a smart guy, I think he should not be sentenced but as the jury found him guilty what can be done, I mean he did not break any kind of rules, he used the platforms according to there rules, and he deposited $5 million USDC which pumped the Mango token, then he took a loan and the loophole was the mango platform provided more loan then the amount is in collateral. I mean that's not a mistake that is done without any purpose.
Still, the jury thought he manipulated the price by first injecting the money, hmmm. No words on it, but hey they are justice system know more than me, but here I had a case in which one of my classfellow hacked into our learning management system and changes the results. He did not get fined or punished because the system said he did not made any mistake he was only using the website and found a loophole which you guys left wide-open so its your mistake.
