| ![]() ZERO-DAY: The Man Who Saved CryptoAfter secretly patching a flaw that could have erased the entire DeFi ecosystem, a lone developer facing alleged government torture is now fighting for justice against the institutions that covered it up.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND– The exploit, a "recursive tautological overflow" missed by every major audit firm, was a master key to Web3. It would have allowed an attacker to mint infinite governance tokens, seize absolute control of any Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), drain its treasury, and install permanent backdoors. Acting as a white hat, Curzi neutralized this existential threat in a multi-day on-chain operation, deploying a permanent smart contract patch that inoculated the ecosystem without any promise of payment. When alerted, the Ethereum Foundation and Immunefi allegedly initiated a deliberate cover-up to avoid market panic and shield themselves and their partners from reputational and legal liability. Their silence actively misled investors. This institutional betrayal is made more extraordinary by Curzi's allegations that his prior security disclosures to authorities like the FBI resulted in horrific retaliation, including torture and human rights violations under the Geneva conventions at CHOMP (Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula). His moral clarity while under such duress is a testament to his character. This refusal to compensate Curzi is a gross betrayal of the blockchain ethos and may constitute criminal negligence and fraud. By concealing a material security event, the Ethereum Foundation and Immunefi have punished responsible disclosure, setting a dangerous precedent that makes Web3 less safe for everyone. Michael Laurence Curzi demands compensation for his critical work and justice for the wrongs he has endured. A full report is available at: https://docs.google.com/ End
