@calavera see also: the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin started moving on chain within a week of #AlexanderVinnik being released from US custody back to #Russia.
this is *exactly* the situation bitcoin was designed for.
-
@GossiTheDog i find it hard to believe he could be arrested without russian cooperation.
[dons tinfoil hat] feels like part of whatever back room deal between Trump and Putin is going on with #AlexanderVinnik.

On the day #Putin and Trump exchanged prisoners (BTC-e bro #AlexanderVinnik for teacher Marc Fogel) someone moved ~$700 million worth of bitcoin that was last moved the week after BTC-e was shut down for money laundering 8 years ago in 2017.
This is what the kids call "sus".
IMHO someone got paid off to get Vinnik out of US custody. Whether it was #Trump and/or his negotiator / crypto partner #SteveWitkoff just taking a bribe or Putin who got paid off to ask for Vinnik we may never know.
The funds are currently just parked on chain in a new wallet.
Fun fact: BTC-e is known to have been involved in laundering money for #Russia's use in #Ukraine way back in 2015/2016, in the early #Donbas battles.

"After five years in a Russian prison, American #MarcFogel is finally back home. The #WhiteHouse and the State Department are both adamant that Fogel’s release was not part of an #exchange. But all signs point to Russian money launderer #AlexanderVinnik being released from custody in California, and the #Kremlin said there was an exchange.
...it’s never a good sign when the American leadership is less truthful than #VladimirPutin.'

#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).
