Two brothers allegedly used a novel exploit against Ethereum’s MEV-Boost/mempool processes to fraudulently access and alter pending transactions, stealing roughly $25 million in cryptocurrency; they then attempted to conceal and launder the proceeds via shell companies, intermediary addresses, low-KYC exchanges, and privacy networks and have been indicted on wire fraud and money laundering charges.
