#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).

I really got a repayment out of the whole #mtgox #bitcoin desaster. Didn't believe it, but I always did the steps of the proceedings over the last 13(?) years. 🤷‍♂️

I already spent the money years ago for my barbell and bumper plate, a much better investment than any crypto can ever be. But now I get to spent it again.
