@grumpybozo There's really not any information here that tells us anything useful.

> “These brothers allegedly committed a first-of-its-kind manipulation of the Ethereum blockchain by fraudulently gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victims,”

Gaining access to pending transactions: how? They were able to hack the mempool? What?

Altering the movement of the currency: they... were able to change the destination address of pending transactions without needing the private key of the sender?

There's not enough information here; it seems intentionally deceitful in the way they present this story
