USA ordered to arrest him in Greece and to extradite it then a Greek court blocked this decision. Russian wants him too then France won at the end.

thousands using cyber attacks via his bitcoin platform. French police claim Vinnik laundered 133 million euros worth $155 million using 20,643 bitcoins.
And the funny part is this :

Vinnik is reported to have acknowledged his guilt in Russia and was prepared to cooperate with investigators there. Vinnik and his lawyers believe he should be tried in Russia.
Weird...

That's not quite the end yet. There's been a series of court extraditions already but apparently, everything still rests with the Chief Justice (Supreme Court). Why exactly he's been procrastinating on the decision is anyone's guess. Greece has a lot of debts to pay and whichever country helps them the most might get the leaning decision.

Yeah, the lawyers of course have worked out a deal with the Russian government. Vinnik faces far less severe charges there, which he will serve easily enough, in very comfortable circumstances, compared to what the US law will have waiting for him. The US want to hang him out to dry, but there's a huge backstory to this. Scapegoat's clearly Vinnik and he seems prepared to take the fall for everything. But there's more to this story than will ever surface.
