Federal court in Manhattan, USA, has begun the trial for the $53 million Uranium Finance attack. Prosecutors accuse Maryland cybersecurity consultant Jonathan Spalletta of exploiting a vulnerability in the DeFi protocol's smart contract in 2021, carrying out a second attack to siphon approximately $53.3 million from 26 liquidity pools, which ultimately led to Uranium Finance shutting down due to insufficient funds. The U.S. Department of Justice previously alleged that Spalletta laundered the funds through platforms like Tornado Cash and used the money to purchase rare Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards, ancient Roman coins, and collectibles, including a piece of fabric from the Wright brothers' original airplane that Neil Armstrong took to the moon.
