Uranium Heist Didn't 'Damage' Crypto Exchange, Jury Hears

Prosecutors on Friday said the crime fraud exception should greenlight access to privileged material as part of their case against former New York Mayor Eric Adams' chief of staff, who's accused of taking bribes in exchange for steering a $6.8 million migrant housing contract to a Queens hotel owner.

A federal jury in Manhattan was shown chat threads Thursday that purport to show a cybersecurity consultant saying "I did a crypto heist," in a computer fraud and money laundering trial over what prosecutors say was a short-lived hacking campaign that drained $53 million from crypto exchange Uranium Finance.

A prosecutor on Monday told a Manhattan federal jury that a Maryland cybersecurity consultant stole around $53 million in crypto by exploiting software bugs on the decentralized exchange Uranium Finance, while defense counsel argued that the government won't be able to show "whose fingers were on the keyboard."

A former chief of staff to ex-New York Mayor Eric Adams told a federal judge Tuesday that prosecutors' claims that a hotel owner secured a $6.8 million migrant housing contract by papering City Hall with bribes is woefully short on detail, and the government should be ordered to flesh it out.
