U.S. authorities have seized approximately $31 million in cryptocurrency linked to the 2021 hack of Uranium Finance. The seizure was a result of a joint effort between the Southern District of New York and Homeland Security Investigations. Uranium Finance, a clone of Uniswap deployed on Binance's BNB chain, experienced a hack in which $50 million in tokens were stolen. The hacker attempted to launder the funds through various methods, including using crypto mixer Tornado Cash and depositing small amounts into centralized exchanges. The seizure provides hope for victims of the hack to potentially recover some of their lost funds.
