Arbitrum's Security Council burned its 9/12 emergency multisig to freeze 30,766 ETH still sitting on L2 — hours later Lazarus started bridging $175M of the other KelpDAO loot cross-chain. Next major hack routes everything through Stargate in the same block as the attack, so this was a one-shot enforcement win that made every future Security Council action harder. ARB holders are now the final arbiters of what counts as 'stolen' on-chain, and L2Beat's Stage 1 label became enforceable policy instead of a technical footnote.
