The court in Paris found Russian Alexander Vinnik guilty of extortion and laundering of funds through the BTC-E cryptocurrency exchange platform. He was sentenced to five years in prison. The verdict of the Parisian court does not mean that the entire term Vinnik will be departed in France. It is possible that the authorities of this country will agree to the extradition of a Russian in the United States, where he is suspected of fraud and laundering $ 4 billion through bitcoins. The jury of the jury in San Francisco agreed that Vinnik used the BTC-E cryptocurrency exchange for laundering funds. The prosecution believes that the Russian managed to get funds after a hacker attack on the Japanese exchange of cryptocurrencies MT. GOX in 2014. Then 850 thousand bitcoins were stolen, of which 306 thousand were brought to electronic wallets associated with BTC-E. Natalya Kasperskaya, she paid the money to defend Vinnika -she paid 248 million rubles to lawyer Timofeus Musatova. And then the lawyer Musatov died mysteriously. According to the official version, he slipped on the stairs in the pub in the south-west of Moscow (six months after receiving money), hit his head and died soon.
Vinnik’s partner and the exchange administrator with the nickname Admin-Alexey Bilyuchenko-leaked the keys to most of the crypto-wallets, which stored 65 thousand bitcoins (at the then rate-$ 650 million, and 1.2 billion in today’s).
Biluchenko squeezed out data from Bilyuchenko and none other than the owner of Tsargrad Malofeev organized the withdrawal of money. To do this, he attracted “people from the FSB.” Of these people, Anton Nemkin is known today, who was indeed an officer of the 1st FSB service. “People from the FSB” depicted Bilyuchenko’s detention, kept him under guard for several days, even organized an interrogation on the Kuznetsk bridge, and eventually achieved what they wanted.
