MEV Bot Trial Ends in Mistrial After Jury Deadlock on Peraire Brothers’ Verdict

A New York jury has declared a mistrial in the case of Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, two brothers accused of exploiting Ethereum blockchain transactions for financial gain. The duo is facing charges related to a 2023 exploit that resulted in the theft of $25 million worth of digital assets. After a three-week trial, US District Judge Jessica Clarke declared a mistrial following the jury’s failure to reach a unanimous decision on whether to convict or acquit the brothers.
