Autheo’s THEO Token Crashes 92% After Suspected Base Bridge Exploit

A 92% drawdown tied to an unauthorized mint, rather than organic selling, puts the focus squarely on bridge and mint-authority design: the ability to create 19 million tokens and route them into liquidity is a control failure, not a market event. The project's own instruction to halt buying, selling and bridging effectively freezes holders in place, leaving them exposed while the team and any chain-level responders assess the damage. The open questions are whether the mint path is closed and whether the affected Base-side supply can be reconciled with the token's original issuance.
