According to WuSay, Galaxy researcher Christine Kim said that the U.S. Department of Justice's prosecution of the Peraire-Bueno brothers for stealing funds from the MEV robot by exploiting a vulnerability in the MEV-Boost relay software shows the importance the Department of Justice attaches to public chains and the value they create. In making these charges, the Department of Justice believes that the Ethereum protocol is a legitimate financial system used by millions of people around the world, and its rules and codes of conduct are protected to a certain extent by U.S. law. However, the Department of Justice is not committed to maintaining the decentralized, permissionless innovation and censorship-resistant values ​​of blockchain. When the Department of Justice takes action against certain types of activities and behaviors on the chain, they do so based on their subjective claims about how the public chain should operate and who should be allowed to use it. This behavior has raised concerns because these cases indicate that there may be more types of on-chain activities that may be permitted according to the code but may be criminalized under U.S. law.
