### Payload with PR

[https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/multisig-ops/pull/568](https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/multisig-ops/pull/568)

### Intro

Following the developments after [the DNS hack reported here](https://medium.com/balancer-protocol/dns-security-incident-post-mortem-1b1feb735aca), and given the current framework proposition on [BIP-443](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-443-restore-brand-trust-in-balancer-by-assisting-dns-hack-users/5218), this proposal seeks to compensate users affected by the frontend attack by refunding 75% of their lost funds, taking BIP-443 as precedent.

### Motivation

As of the time of writing, only 5 (five) users have reported loss of funds to the Balancer Maxis or other community contributors, to a total amount equivalent of $319,228,08 USD at the time of the attack.

From that amount, a portion of $157,075 USD belonging to auramaxi.eth was taken care of immediately after the approval of BIP-443. The four other users manifested their will to claim for a refund of the remaining $162.153,08, taking the 25% cut under the same precedent set on that proposal, for a total of **$121.614,81 USDC on mainnet.**

Given that the original proposal needed further developments (volunteer committee, Google form and public announcement), **this BIP must be treated as an exception in case BIP-443 sees any traction in the future**. However, it’s only appropriate to take from the 350k previously approved by governance as max budget for compensations.

The addresses below are verified, known and damaged wallets, who will be providing on-chain signatures for wallet verification referencing this BIP in the comments below, along with a statement forgoing all further claims to restitution. The amount to be sent is 75% of the total lost by these wallets during the attack period (including amounts stolen and angel drainer contract fee), which can be verified on-chain and cross ref with @gosuto [spreadsheet here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nby6q2kyA9PSvrKeMSJtRIFllxzlOHAT96SE38fnGxA/edit#gid=593597477).

Seems like this is getting ready to go to a vote tomorrow. Passing a vote on Monday (23rd), payments will follow next. You should see funds on your Ethereum wallet in USDC when the tx is executed on the multisig.
