Drift Protocol Drops 40 Percent After Hacker Drains $285 Million in April Fools Exploit

While crypto bros are busy crying over a 40 percent token crash, we're staring at the Sea of Cortés wondering if the yellowtail are biting today. Honestly, smart contracts sound like a fantastic way to ensure you never see your pesos again.
