Maryland cybersecurity consultant goes on trial for $54.7M Uranium Finance hack

  • —The first attack on April 8, 2021 drained about $1.4 million from Uranium Finance
  • —The second attack on April 28 hit 26 liquidity pools and siphoned $53.3 million
  • —The Binance Smart Chain-based platform shut down after the exploit
  • —About $31 million in crypto was seized in February 2025; the indictment was unsealed on March 30, 2026
Why it matters: The case tests whether existing computer fraud and money laundering laws can cover DeFi exploits and whether funds can be traced after passing through Tornado Cash.
