BTC-e operator to be released as part of US-Russia prisoner swap: WSJ 🤝
The Wall Street Journal reports that Alexander Vinnik, the operator of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange BTC-e, is set to be released as part of a US-Russia prisoner swap deal. The exchange was notorious for money laundering activities, leading to Vinnik's arrest and subsequent extradition to the United States.
This swap deal also includes schoolteacher Marc Fogel, who returned to the US on February 11. The arrangement signifies ongoing diplomatic negotiations between the two countries concerning high-profile prisoners.
