Based on Coinotag, the jury in the Ethereum MEV exploit trial involving brothers Anton and James Peraire-Bueno remains deadlocked after three days of deliberation. The defense requested a mistrial, but Judge Jessica Clarke denied the motion. The case involves charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and receiving stolen property. Prosecutors allege the brothers used MEV bots to siphon $25 million from the Ethereum blockchain in 2023, while the defense argues their actions were legitimate use of open-source tools.
