From Aave's Lending Pools, Justin Sun withdrew USDT valued at millions of dollars.
The founder of Tron withdrew USDT tokens worth $100 million from the Aave Protocol V2 in two separate transfers of $50 million apiece to an account sponsored by the Poloniex cryptocurrency exchange service. Suns withdrawal caused the USDT in the Aave Protocol V2 pool TVL (Total value locked) to shrink from $300 million to $200 million. The recent block put by Aave on the account of the Tron founder following a Tornado Cash ETH payment is probably the cause of the large number of withdrawals that were made. Aave suspended Justin Suns address in August after he acquired 0.1 ETH at random from the cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash, which was blocked. Founder and CEO of Aave Stani Kulechov was contacted for help, and Justin Suns Aave account was eventually restored. On the Ethereum network, numerous dapps deployed code updates in August to refuse entry from “sanctioned” accounts. Customers who had communicated with Tornado Cash were labeled as “sanctioned” and subsequently banned from DeFi protocols like Aave, Uniswap, Ren, Oasis, balancer, TRM Labs, in addition to other crypto platforms after the US Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) decision to penalize all accounts related to Tornado Cash throughout that month. Sanctions were imposed
