| You can look through the indictment yourself - https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/media/1388036/dl?inline Among other bits: > MEDJEDOVIC understood that his conduct circumvented the intended functioning [...] MEDJEDOVIC discussed a plan to "steal crypto," referred to the exploit as involving "glitch" and "fake" liquidity, and described the code for the exploit as a "rape." > MEDJEDOVIC also prepared a "POST-EXPLOITATION" plan for himself, which included, among other things, "KEEP the configs Burn the evidence, including the histfile" and "Book flight to: Pack Bags," as well as another file labeled "Decisions and Mistakes," in which he wrote, "Going On the run / Yes / Chance of getting caught<Payoff for not getting caught" > Immediately after obtaining the flash loan, MEDJEDOVIC wrote "Raping Now" in the public event long for the transaction. There's extremely strong evidence that he believes he's committing a crime, and specifically "steal[ing] crypto" in his own words, so yes. And when you have records effectively saying "I believe I am committing a crime", it becomes a lot easier to convince a jury you committed a crime. |
