🎯 Hacker who stole $53 million to buy Pokémon cards is busted

📰 A Maryland man hacked Uranium Finance and stole $53 million in crypto assets, then spent millions on Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards. He has now been found guilty.

💬 You can’t hide money, and you can’t hide the cards either. Once the on-chain trail is public, the flashiest purchases become the most glaring evidence.

Came across CryptoBriefing / Decrypt: The Uranium Finance hack case has reached a verdict—the Manhattan jury found cybersecurity consultant Jonathan Spalletta (online handle: Cthulhon) guilty of computer fraud and money laundering.

The key facts: In April 2021, he drained BNB Chain AMM Uranium twice—first exploiting a rewards bug for about $1.4 million, then, two weeks later, siphoning roughly $53.3 million in liquidity and shutting the platform down. About $26 million went through Tornado Cash; the stolen funds were also spent on Black Lotus Magic: The Gathering cards (about $500,000), Pokémon cards, Roman coins depicting Caesar’s assassination, and fabric from the Wright Flyer that went to the Moon. In February 2025, about $31 million in related crypto assets were seized. The two charges carry a statutory maximum of up to 30 years, and sentencing is set for February 16, 2027.

At trial, the defense insisted on asking “who was at the keyboard”—but the jury rejected “code is law” in about two hours. A DeFi exploit from five years ago has now translated into real-world prison time.

A security adviser personally stole crypto—an insider theft straight out of a textbook 🤡

A New York jury has just convicted him: security adviser Spalletta made off with nearly $55 million from Uranium Finance in two attacks in 2021. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

Even five years later, he was still tracked down. The blockchain isn’t beyond the law; laundering funds through multiple mixers is useless—data leaves a permanent trail. Anyone thinking of getting into crypto crime should think twice: 20 years behind bars costs a lot more than the ill-gotten gains.

This week, the Manhattan Federal Court is set to begin trial. Uranium Finance: Prosecutors say that Maryland cybersecurity consultant Jonathan Spalletta (alias Cthulhon) exploited smart contract vulnerabilities twice in April 2021 to withdraw approximately $1.4 million and $53.3 million from the BNB Chain’s AMM. The funds were later routed through Tornado Cash. From the outset, the defense attacked the question of “whose finger was on the keyboard,” arguing that the attribution had not yet been established. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District, in 2025, has seized assets related to the case worth about $31 million; at present, it is only opening statements, and there is no verdict yet.

A DeFi vulnerability case from five years ago is only now truly before a jury today.
