Brothers Fight to Block Google Search History in $25M Crypto Heist Case
Tech giants clash with crypto defendants in unprecedented privacy battle.
The Search History Standoff
Two brothers facing charges in a massive $25 million cryptocurrency theft case are pushing back against prosecutors seeking their complete Google search histories. The defense argues this constitutes a 'digital fishing expedition' that violates constitutional protections against unreasonable searches.
Privacy Versus Prosecution
Legal experts watch closely as this case could set precedent for how much digital footprint law enforcement can access in financial crime investigations. The brothers' attorneys claim prosecutors want to 'mine their entire digital lives' without specific evidence connecting searches to the alleged heist.
Meanwhile, the crypto community shrugs—because what's another $25 million between friends in an industry where 'funds are safu' has become the biggest inside joke since fractional reserve banking.
