U.S. indictment alleges two Uranium Finance crypto exploits moved through Tornado Cash before being used to buy Pokemon cards and other collectibles. The charges against Jonathan Spalletta remain allegations, not a court finding of guilt.

The U.S. Department of Justice indictment announcement, issued on March 30, 2026, describes the alleged hacks, laundering route, and purchases.

Uranium was a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that let users deposit and exchange assets through liquidity pools. Prosecutors allege that Spalletta exploited its smart contracts twice in April 2021, turning weaknesses in withdrawal and rewards logic into substantial losses for the exchange and its users.
