Alexander Vinnik, whom many refer to as “cryptocore”, sits in a Greek prison on suspicion of money laundering. After his arrest, the Americans seized billions of dollars from BTC-e servers. This is claimed by the defendant’s human rights activist.
Recall Vinnik arrested 2 years ago in Greece. Suspected of money laundering, except that no one has yet asked where exactly they disappeared. Presumably, it is about $ 6 billion.
The lawyer of Alexander Vinnik, Timofey Musatov, said that the alleged 4 million dollars stolen by the suspect had never actually been in Vinnik’s hands. The money disappeared immediately after US law enforcement officers seized the BTC-e servers, which is about 6 billion dollars.
Musatov assumes that soon these funds will still be remembered and searched for them. Timofey Musatov has 2 assumptions - either the means did not exist at all, or they belonged to the USA. It also turned out to be a strange fact that part of the allegedly stolen funds appeared in an incomprehensible way on the WEX exchange, to which Vinnik could not be involved in any way.
According to lawyer Musatov, there are several options:
“We need to recall the lawsuit filed by the owner of the payment system. The document referred to the sum with a few zeros. From the accusations of Americans it is clear that a lot of money has disappeared. She is not sought. Although I wonder why? There are two assumptions. Perhaps these funds simply did not exist. Or perhaps the servers were in the United States, and they were seized. Then all the money remained with the Americans. "
