Russian Denis Dubnikov was arrested in the Netherlands on an extradition warrant from the United States, which accuses the man of money laundering.
Denis Dubnikov, co-founder of the Coyote Crypto and EggChange group, was detained in the Netherlands at the request of the United States. He is accused of money laundering in the interests of cybercriminals from the Ryuk group. He is now awaiting extradition.
Dubnikov flew to Mexico, but local border guards did not let him into the country and said that he was wanted in the United States. Then the Mexicans "just stole and stuffed" Dubnikov on the plane and "illegally" sent him to the Netherlands, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The United States believes that Dubnikov helped the "Russian" hacker group Ryuk legalize the proceeds of the extortion. This is stated in the extradition order that the US Department of Justice sent to the Dutch authorities. According to the American authorities, Dubnikov received more than $ 400,000 in bitcoins from the money that their victims transferred to the extortionists. Dubnikov was arrested on November 2, this is the first arrest in connection with the activities of the Ryuk group, the WSJ noted. A spokesman for the US Department of Justice declined to comment on the newspaper.
The arrest of Denis Dubnikov cannot be called a big surprise; it is not the first day that he has been in the field of view of the American media and law enforcement agencies. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg published materials in which Dubnikov's firms were accused of laundering hackers' proceeds. He specializes in the field of cryptocurrency circulation, is a very wealthy businessman, the creator of the crypto exchanges Coyote Crypto and EggChange, as well as the legal office for cryptocurrency traders Briefcase.
