But when the market turned and ETH began to slide, they were unprepared. Despite the shrinking value of their assets, U.S. tax law still treated the income at its original value\u2014leaving them owing over $1 million to the IRS.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to delay selling at a loss, the couple used ETH as collateral for a loan on Aave. But when the Terra ecosystem collapsed, it triggered a wave of liquidations, including Mann\u2019s.
