The report summarizes two DOJ-unsealed indictments: one alleging that Chinese nationals led an international ‘pig butchering’ crypto investment scam that laundered at least $73 million through U.S. bank accounts, shell companies, and conversion to stablecoins, and another charging two brothers who allegedly exploited an MEV-Boost vulnerability to manipulate Ethereum transactions and steal about $25 million (the vulnerability has since been patched).
