Bitzlato founder Anatoly Legkodymov was detained in Miami
The founder of the Bitzlato crypto exchange, Anatoly Legkodymov, joined the cohort of Russians committing crimes from Russia and being detained in the United States or other countries for extradition to the United States some time ago. If you have hundreds of millions of dollars of dirty money flowing through you, and you know that your work will not please the American government, you should not travel to the United States. On the other hand, somehow all this looks ridiculous and perhaps it was either some kind of FBI trap or Legkodymov himself decided to surrender (however, by prior agreement this is done differently, perhaps it was an initiative).
Here is a news story with legal details from The Sanctions Time, and here is the same news from former BBC correspondent Andrei Zakharov with some interesting non-legal details.
