Russia is all about crime. I don’t know if we’ve talked about this article, if we have, I apologize.
The begining of this states:
?Russian law enforcement detained almost 100 suspects linked to the Cryptex cryptocurrency exchange, the UAPS anonymous payment service, and 33 other online services and platforms used to make illegal payments and sell stolen credentials.
Following 148 raids, 96 individuals were arrested and charged with organizing and participating in a criminal organization, unlawful access to computer information, illegal payment processing, and illegal banking activities.
“According to investigators, in 2013, defendants, possessing knowledge in the field of banking, created a criminal community to commit crimes and personal enrichment,” according to a press release issued by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (ICR), the leading federal investigating authority in Russia.
If this is any indication, they’ll either decide to cooperate and send those who need to be prosecuted, or they’ll all get slapped on the wrist, told not to do that shit again and send them all on their way.
There may be some the U.S. might get, but I don’t think they’ll get all 100 of them.
Russia will lose too much by keeping all those arrested or sending them away and we know that.
