# Users Who Purchased DEI ## Reimburse cost basis #### As detailed in our past announcements, The DEUS team has pledged to reimburse the cost basis for those users who purchased DEI during this incident. ## Reasoning #### to reimburse those who tried to profit from the Incident As the nature of the exploit was such that it prevented us from divulging specific details, to deter potential copycat attempts. We are aware that our communication during this period may have appeared unclear to some, despite our repeated advisories not to interact with the contracts. Therefore, we consistently conveyed our intent to compensate the cost basis for all affected users, barring a few exceptions. ## Exclusions Those who capitalized on the incident, those who exploited the flaws in the DEI contract, and those demonstrating malicious intent will be exempted from this reimbursement scheme. While we choose not to disclose the complete specifics of our investigative process, we thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. ## how exactly will the long-term reimbursement work? The DEUS team calculated your cost basis, subtracted any profits made, and will grant one bDEI for each USD of the adjusted cost basis. A more comprehensive explanation of how bDEI operates and how it can be utilized to offset debt is available in a specific section of our Gitbook. We highly recommend that you read it for a thorough understanding.

Alternatively, users can migrate their holdings to SYMM or DEUS, thereby making it liquid and sellable but also eligible to earn protocol profits in the future. More details on this process are elaborated upon in a subsequent section of the Gitbook.
