A U.S. federal court in Manhattan has dismissed the case against Anton and James Perayr-Bueno, who faced charges of Ethereum network fraud involving $25 million. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, citing emotional distress and lack of progress in deliberations. The brothers were accused of using 16 Ethereum validator accounts to execute a MEV-bot attack through 'trap transactions.' Their defense argued that their actions were legal within the competitive Ethereum bot landscape. Prosecutors have not yet decided on a retrial.
