Israel extradited Alexander Block, formerly Alexander Gurevich, to the United States to face charges over the alleged theft of about $2.8 million from crypto bridge Nomad. He was transferred after Israeli courts rejected his appeals. The source gives no calendar date for the transfer.
According to the U.S. extradition request, Block exploited a software flaw around August 1, 2022, and his actions exposed it to other users, who then drained more than $186 million from a Nomad-controlled wallet. Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that exploiting a programming flaw can amount to unlawful computer intrusion even if the software permits the transaction.
