#AlexanderVinnik, the OG russian crypto money launderer and ransomware facilitator who ran BTC-e and laundered billions of dollars of Russian money through crypto way before that was cool (he was arrested in 2017) got let out of prison, apparently in a prisoner swap.
BTC-e was also involved in the legendary #MtGox hack (IIRC a lot of stolen #bitcoin was laundered through BTC-e).
Suspect there's a lot of reasons Putin and the rest of the oligarchs wanted Vinnik released (and why Trump wanted to release him).
