Plus, coup sympathizer Samuel Alito, Ukraine's high-tech gains and low-tech losses, and our risk of being outflanked by foreign influence in 2024.

Evan Zinaman breaks down why the government’s indictment of the Bueno brothers for their $25 million MEV exploitation is a “vanilla fraud,” but still may shed light on potential compliance considerations for block-building participants.
In this episode, Evan Zinaman, founder and principal at Trailbreak, delves into the first-of-its-kind case of the Bueno brothers, who face Department of Justice charges for exploiting Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) in a cryptocurrency scheme. Accused of manipulating transaction ordering to create an arbitrage opportunity, the brothers are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud as well as wire fraud itself.
Zinaman explores the broader implications of MEV exploitation and addresses critics who say that the MEV exploiters just got a taste of their own medicine, and the need for block-building participants to consider their legal and compliance responsibilities.
Show highlights:
What the charges against the Bueno brothers are about
How block building works on Ethereum and how the relay was manipulated by the Bueno brothers
The different types of MEV and which ones are acceptable
Why these charges could be seen as a "vanilla fraud," according to Evan
Whether the benefits of MEV outweigh the cons of it
The lack of terms of service in the MEV space
How the regulators' attention to the space has changed over time
