The alleged leader of the cryptocurrency exchange called Yobit or at least someone who had a big share in it has been arrested in Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow. He is reportedly accused of establishing fraud financial schemes. His name is Pavel Krymov.

Sadly, there are very few direct proofs of his ownership of this exchange, only amateur investigations made by those who already suffered from the schemes of Mr. Krymov.

Yobit is a cryptocurrency exchange supposedly founded by Pavel Krymov, a Russian entrepreneur born in Ukraine... Although he never confirmed he had been involved in creating the exchange, these rumors were circulating on the net for a while.
