The two brothers Anton Pepaire-Bueno and James Pepaire-Bueno were arrested for stealing $ 25 million in cryptocurrency vulnerabilities on Ethereum.

Exclusive news point:

  • The U.S. Department of Justice (Doj) accused Anton and James manipulating the MEV-Boost software used by Ethereum verification device and stole $ 25 million.

  • Today, the Federal Court announced the prosecution, accusing the brothers’ conspiracy to conduct telecommunications fraud, telecommunications fraud and conspiracy to launder money laundering.

  • It is said that they have conducted a complex 12 -second transaction tampering attack on the maximum extraction value (MEV) robot, and the $ 25 million stable currency and other tokens were drawn from a series of liquidity pools.

Author’s point of view:

This case is unprecedented in the United States, because this is the first time that the federal court has handled the Ethereum MEV manipulation.Most people in the field of cryptocurrencies do not even understand MEV, so observing what attitudes to the United States will be the key.The government will explore this complex cutting -edge topic and whether similar cases will appear.

In addition, this case has triggered a fierce debate in the encrypted community. Some people think that MEV traders can legally launch a sandwiches with a premiere sandwich.

The difference is that ordinary MEV users operate within the scope of public information and are constrained by various rules.In contrast, the PERAIRE-BUENO brothers took advantage of the MEV to raise the unknown loopholes, surpassing these rules, and caused huge losses to other traders, rather than unsatisfactory transactions.
