Summary

Compounder Finance was an Ethereum-based DeFi yield aggregator that launched in November 2020 and executed a deliberate rug pull approximately 22 days later, stealing between $10.8 million and $12.5 million from investors. Anonymous developers embedded hidden 'Evil Strategy' smart contracts behind a publicly visible but unmonitored 24-hour timelock, then drained all user funds and deleted the project's website and social media accounts. No funds were recovered and the perpetrators have never been publicly identified.
