A federal judge in New York has permitted Arbitrum DAO to move $71 million in frozen ether to Aave. The order preserves the legal claims of terrorism victims against the funds tied to a North Korea-linked hack.
Judge Margaret Garnett issued the two-page order late Friday, modifying a prior restraining notice on Arbitrum DAO. The ruling enables an onchain governance vote to transfer the immobilized ETH to an Aave-controlled wallet and protects participants in that vote from liability under the notice.
