PANews reported on November 11 that, according to Bloomberg, U.S. federal prosecutors plan to reopen the trial in February 2026 for MIT-graduate brothers James and Anton Peraire-Bueno, who are accused of stealing approximately $25 million in crypto assets on Ethereum through "sandwich attacks."
The trial was previously declared unresolved after three days of heated deliberations by the jury. The prosecution stated that the case aimed to clarify the legal boundaries of cryptocurrency transactions, but the complex technical details made it difficult for the jurors to make a judgment. The two brothers argued that their actions constituted "market speculation" and requested the judge to acquit them.
