The United States extradited Alexander Block from Israel on October 29 to face charges over an alleged $2.8 million theft from the Nomad crypto bridge. The source gives no year for the extradition date. Block faces eight federal counts in California involving computer offenses, transferring stolen property and money laundering; the allegations have not been established as facts.
Israel’s Supreme Court rejected Block’s challenge to extradition. It ruled that exploiting a programming flaw could constitute unlawful computer intrusion even if the software allowed the transactions, and that publicly visible blockchain transfers do not rule out money laundering.
