A question: if you are involved in a crime but you revoke your citizenship before the crime comes to light, can the US authorities still extradite you?
 
What does your citizenship have to do with their authority? What matters is the citizenship of the victims in question, the location that the alleged crime(s) have occurred, and the legal authority of those jurisdiction(s) including extradition treaties.

Extradition is not dependent on someone being a citizen or not. For example, Assange was extradited and he wasn't a US citizen.

Giving up your citizenship is not some magical get out of jail card.

I have nothing but contempt for the bot operators. How they can operate MEV bots legally while these two get charged for going after frontrunner bots boggles the mind. Maybe there's something I'm missing here.
 

YT short, think it was referring to the "MEV hack", not that the block-chain was brute-forced. *or was it? I haven't read the full run-down articles.

4. This Email looked legit - PayPal logos included.
