The U.S. Department of Justice, or DoJ, indicted Andrey Turchin, known under the pseudonym “fxmsp,” with various federal crimes. Turchin allegedly founded a cybercrime group that targeted the computer networks of several companies. After stealing each company’s data, Turchin’s group reportedly sold the data on the dark web.


According to the official report by the Department of Justice, he was charged, but it seems that he wasn't found guilty yet, so there's a slight chance it's not him. If it is him, I'm glad that governmental institutions did a good job and caught a criminal. Such people making a fortune in cryptos are plundering the reputation of the community and cryptocurrencies, so it's good to hear when they get caught. The exceptional case in which I disagree with the government is Ross Ulbricht, whose market did not allow selling anything that was violating human rights, and I don't think it's fair that the government decides what adult sane people are allowed to do to themselves and what they aren't allowed to do. This fxmsp's case seems less morally vague.
