New Book on Mistrial for Crypto Bros Taking Down Ethereum Sandwich Bots Asks If Code Is Law


by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 7  – Anton and James Peraire-Bueno were indicted for "conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.  The charges in the Indictment arise from an alleged novel scheme by the defendants to exploit the very integrity of the Ethereum blockchain to fraudulently obtain approximately $25 million worth of cryptocurrency within approximately 12 seconds."

On the evening of November 3 the defense put in a filing, on Patreon here

On November 7 it went to 7 pm when the jury sent out a note they were suffering and making no progress. Judge Clarke declared a mistrial. In the hall Inner City Press spoke with the brothers' mother, others including from the jury - and it put out a book hours later: "Crypto Bros Mistrial: Code Is Law Live On?" - here

The case is USA v. Peraire-Bueno, et al., 1:24-cr-293 (Clarke)
