Man loses his life savings sending unsupported cypto tokens to smart contract

A man sent just over 4,000 LINK tokens to a smart contract belonging to decentralized finance (DeFi) game Aavegotchi. These tokens, worth over $50,000 apparently represented his life savings. Unfortunately for him, the contract doesn't support LINK tokens, so his money is gone - stuck in limbo forever. The guy from Aavegotchi is holding a charity fundraiser to raise funds for the guy who lost his $50k, but so far they've only raised around $1,000.

Let this serve as a reminder to us all to be careful!
