After 18 days in a Manhattan federal courtroom, the high-profile trial ended in a mistrial. Judge Jessica G.L. Clarke declared the jury deadlocked on charges of wire fraud and money laundering. The case involved two MIT-educated brothers, Benjamin and Noah Peraire-Bueno, accused of exploiting Ethereum’s MEV system to siphon roughly $25 million through “sandwich attacks.” Jury deliberations could not reach a unanimous verdict, leaving the legal outcome unresolved.
