PANews reported on January 30th that, according to CBC News, 21-year-old Canadian cryptocurrency fugitive Andean Medjedovic is suspected of stealing a total of $65 million from Indexed Finance and KyberSwap platforms through hacking. Medjedovic was arrested in Belgrade, Serbia in August 2024, but was released after a Serbian court rejected a Dutch extradition request. US Department of Justice documents indicate that he may have fled to Bosnia and his current whereabouts are unknown.
Medjedovic used his mathematical and programming talents to attack Indexed Finance at the age of 18, earning $16.5 million, and then attacked KyberSwap in 2023, earning $48 million. Medjedovic used a fake Slovakian passport and traveled to multiple countries including Brazil, Dubai, and Spain. The US Department of Justice has accused him of using money mixers such as Tornado Cash for money laundering.
