An unthinkable development has occurred on the Ethereum (ETH) front.
Accordingly, an Ethereum developer using the pseudonym “Fede’s Intern” was reportedly detained in Izmir, Türkiye, for allegedly “abusing the Ethereum network.”
Fede’s Intern, an Argentinian independent kernel developer focusing on ZK and infrastructure, wrote in a post from his X account that he was detained in Izmir.
The ETH developer stated that Turkish authorities claimed he was facilitating the exploitation of the Ethereum network.
The developer denied the accusations against him and emphasized that he and his team are only infrastructure developers and expressed his willingness to cooperate with authorities.
The ETH developer, who continued to share content from his X account, announced that despite being detained, he was taken to a private room and given food, and that he would travel to Europe on a private jet with his legal team to present his defense.
The developer, Fede’s Intern, recently stated that he liked Ethereum and ZK and added that important names in the Solana (SOL) community contacted him to help.
