Wintermute CEO claims NEAR and Aurora reneged on $11M USN stablecoin conversion offer
Wintermute founder and CEO Evgeny Gaevoy has accused NEAR Foundation and Aurora of failing to convert $11 million worth of USN stablecoins. Gaevoy claims that NEAR refused to honor their commitment to facilitate the sale of $11.2 million worth of USN for the FTX estate, despite previously earmarking money for it. Wintermute executed the transaction on the basis that it would be able to redeem USN to USDT on a one-to-one basis, but NEAR allegedly "refused to honor their commitments" and offered a final settlement of 20% of the $11 million. Wintermute plans to pursue legal action against NEAR and Aurora.
