Thanks for this; so we have: wire fraud, money laundering, and an interesting charge “unauthorized damage to a protected computer“ that sees the Ethereum EVM as a distributed computer…
Yeah, this one is very interesting; the charge is for "intentionally caus[ing] damage without authorization to one or more protected computers, including the Ethereum Virual Machine (EVM), which was implemented through, among other nodes, a full Ethereum node running in the Eastern District of New York."
This seems ambitious. The implications seem quite dire; if I'm running a full Ethereum node do I have the ability to say which smart contracts are "authorized" to execute on my implementation of the EVM? If I see a smart contract do a trade I don't like, is someone committing a crime against me? I don't think this will stick if Medjedovic ever goes to court.
