TL;DR: U.S. prosecutors are opposing Coin Center’s attempt to file a policy-based amicus brief in the $25M Ethereum MEV bot fraud case involving the Peraire-Bueno brothers. The government argues such crypto policy debates belong in Congress, not court. The defense claims prosecutors’ “honest validator theory” misrepresents normal blockchain behavior and could criminalize competitive actions on Ethereum. The case highlights growing tension between legal systems and decentralized blockchain operations.
