[U.S. Prosecutors Plan to Retry MIT Brothers Accused of Stealing $25 Million in Crypto Assets in 2026] U.S. federal prosecutors plan to retry the case of MIT graduate brothers James and Anton Peraire-Bueno, who are accused of stealing approximately $25 million in crypto assets through Ethereum 'sandwich attacks,' in February 2026. Previously, the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict after three days of deliberation, and the trial was declared a mistrial. Prosecutors stated that the case involves clarifying the legal boundaries of crypto trading, but the complex technical details made it difficult for jurors to make a judgment. The two brothers argued that their actions constituted 'market strategies' and requested the judge to declare them not guilty.
