A Manhattan federal jury convicted cybersecurity consultant Jonathan Spalletta on Wednesday of computer fraud and money laundering over the 2021 Uranium Finance attacks, according to Inner City Press, which reported from the courthouse. Jurors returned guilty verdicts on both counts after beginning deliberations Tuesday afternoon.
Prosecutors accused Spalletta of draining roughly $53.3 million, Inner City Press reported. The report said prosecutors also accused him of laundering millions through Tornado, and it included that Spalletta spent crypto loot on Pokemon cards. The supplied description was truncated at that point.
