MIT Graduates Fight to Exclude Google Searches in $25M Blockchain Theft Case 🔍
A fascinating legal drama is playing out in Manhattan's Federal Court. MIT-educated brothers Anton and James Peraire-Bueno are pushing back. They don't want their Google searches used against them in court. The case? An alleged $25 million cryptocurrency theft 💰
These brothers supposedly found a hole in the MEV-boost blockchain protocol and took advantage. First criminal case of its kind involving this specific blockchain weakness. Kind of surprising it took this long. The prosecution wants to show searches like "best crypto lawyers" and "statute of limitations for wire fraud" as proof they knew what they were doing 🚀
The defense isn't having it. They say these searches happened while talking to actual lawyers. Attorney-client privilege should apply here. Makes sense, right? 🛡️
Judge Jessica G.L. Clarke has a tough call to make. Her decision might change how future crypto cases play out. Are Google searches evidence of guilt? Or just what anyone would look up when seeking legal advice? Not entirely clear where the line should be drawn 🧑⚖️
If things go badly for the Peraire-Bueno brothers, they're looking at up to 20 years per count. Harsh. The crypto world isn't the Wild West anymore, it seems 🌕
This whole situation shows how our old legal system is trying to wrap its head around Web3. Traditional laws meeting new tech always creates these gray areas. The courts are figuring it out as they go 🔥
