[MIT Graduate Brothers Involved in Crypto Theft Case, Request to Exclude Google Search Records as Evidence] Two MIT graduate brothers, Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, have filed a motion in Manhattan federal court in New York to exclude their Google search records as evidence in a case where they are accused of exploiting blockchain vulnerabilities to steal $25 million worth of crypto assets. Prosecutors aim to use their searches for terms like 'top crypto lawyers' and 'wire fraud statute of limitations' to establish criminal intent. However, the defense argues that these searches occurred during legal consultations and are protected under attorney-client privilege. This case is the first criminal case involving MEV-boost blockchain vulnerabilities. If convicted, the brothers could face up to 20 years in prison for each charge. U.S. District Judge Jessica G.L. Clarke will decide whether these search records can be admitted as evidence.
