💨 Abstract

The U.S. will release Russian cybercrime suspect Alexander Vinnik, who operated BTC-e, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, as part of an exchange deal with Russia that freed American Marc Fogel. Vinnik was arrested in Greece in 2017 and linked to the failure of Mt. Gox, a Japan-based bitcoin exchange, and the laundering of $4 billion.
