The Russian Embassy in the US intends to provide legal and consular support to Russian citizen and crypto exchange BTC-e’s operator Alexander Vinnik who was earlier extradited from Greece to the United States and is currently arranging for a phone conversation with him, Nadezhda Shumova, head of the consular department of Russia’s embassy, told TASS on Monday. US authorities told Russian diplomats that Vinnik is at the Santa Rita jail in California. The embassy continues to closely monitor the situation. On July 25, 2017, Alexander Vinnik, a Russian IT specialist, was detained during his vacation in Greece at the request of the United States, where he is accused of laundering $4-9 bln through the no longer existing crypto exchange BTC-e.
