Israel handed Alexander Block , who went by Alexander Gurevich until 2025, to U.S. authorities early Thursday, the State Attorney’s Office said . The U.S. accuses him of exploiting a flaw in the Nomad crypto bridge in August 2022 to take more than $2.8 million in tokens. He was arrested in May 2025 at Ben-Gurion Airport, where he was about to board a flight to Russia, having recently changed his surname and obtained a passport under it. The Jerusalem District Court found him extraditable that July, and a Supreme Court panel upheld the ruling on March 8, 2026.
