New Details in the BTC-e Exchange Case

Totally 300,000 of these cash went to BTC-e, one other now-defunct crypto trade. BTC-e was shut down by the FBI in 2017, and the trade’s alleged operator, Russian nationwide Alexander Vinnik, was arrested in Greece and later extradited to the U.S. to face prices for “laptop intrusions and hacking incidents, ransomware scams, id theft schemes, corrupt public officers and narcotics distribution rings.”
