Prosecutors requested a <strong>five-year prison sentence for Mohammed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"twists-in-the-case\" class='wp-block-heading' id='h-les-rebondissements-dans-l-affaire'><span id='les-rebondissements-dans-laffaire'>Twists in the case<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, the brothers were acquitted after Mohammed claimed to be an &#8220;<strong>ethical hacker<\/strong>&#8220;, acquiring the funds with the intention of <strong>returning them later to the protocol<\/strong>, hoping to receive <strong>a 10% reward of the total amount<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During the attack, Mohammed accidentally <strong>locked millions of dollars of stolen funds<\/strong>, only managing to recover <strong>approximately $270,000<\/strong>. Platypus was able to <strong>save $2.4 million<\/strong> in USDC through a counter-hack.<\/p>\n<p>The judges ruled that since Mohammed accessed a publicly available smart contract, <strong>charges of unauthorized access to a computer system<\/strong> did not apply.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Mohammed&#8217;s use of Platypus&#8217; &#8220;emergency withdrawal&#8221; smart contract, the very one that had the exploited vulnerability, <strong>was not considered fraud<\/strong>. As a result, the <strong>charges of money laundering and possession of stolen goods<\/strong> were also dropped. However, the judges reminded the brothers that Platypus could still pursue them in civil court, stating that the decision was not a &#8220;blank check&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Acquittal of the accused brothers in the hacking of Platypus Finance.
