The U.S. government is hoping to obtain additional information on the 2017 hacker attack targeting the EtherDelta cryptocurrency trading platform and it has asked victims of the incident to come forward.
EtherDelta was a decentralized trading platform for Ether and Ethereum-based tokens. It was shut down after its founder was charged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in November 2018 for operating an unregistered exchange. It reportedly also had legal problems in China.
According to U.S. authorities, Anthony Tyler Nashatka of Michigan (aka psycho) and Elliott Gunton from the United Kingdom (aka planet and Glubz) in December 2017 managed to steal at least $1.4 million worth of cryptocurrency as a result of a cyberattack targeting EtherDelta.
