Uranium crypto exchange hacker convicted for stealing $53 million

A Maryland man was convicted of stealing over $53 million through two hacks of the decentralized crypto exchange Uranium Finance in April 2021. The conviction follows a law enforcement investigation into the theft and recovery efforts. This case represents a significant prosecution outcome in cryptocurrency-related cybercrime.
