News Brief
**PANews** reported on January 30th that Andean Medjedovic, a 21-year-old Canadian crypto fugitive, stands accused of orchestrating hacks against Indexed Finance and KyberSwap, allegedly siphoning roughly $65 million in total. Serbian authorities arrested him in Belgrade last August; however, he secured his release after a Serbian court rejected the Dutch extradition appeal. According to US Justice Department files, he may have fled to Bosnia—his current whereabouts remain unknown. Leveraging his mathematical and coding expertise, Medjedovic reportedly struck Indexed Finance at merely 18 years old, absconding with $16.5 million. Subsequently, in 2023, he targeted KyberSwap, extracting another $48 million. Authorities believe he traveled across Brazil, Dubai, and Spain using a fraudulent Slovakian passport, while US prosecutors allege he laundered the stolen funds through mixing services like Tornado Cash.
