Israeli crypto suspect extradited to U.S. over $186 million Nomad hack
Alexander Blok allegedly withdrew $2.8 million before others drained the wallet.
Alexander Blok has been extradited to the United States over the Nomad hack that led to more than $186 million being drained from a Nomad-controlled wallet.
Prosecutors accuse Blok of exploiting a software vulnerability to withdraw $2.8 million in tokens before other users took further funds.
The extradition came after Israel's Supreme Court ruled on the scope of the country’s computer-crime and money-laundering law.
The case centers on the alleged use of a software flaw to gain access, the early withdrawal of $2.8 million, and the later drain of over $186 million from the wallet controlled through Nomad.
Blok is now facing the U.S. process following the Israeli Supreme Court decision.
