Random piece of news stating the guy was arrested not as a TC developer but because he was actively involved in cash recycling.
Not that this changes much in the situation, but it is only a bit less worrying as he wasn't arrested for only writing code.
Can you post source link for this information and how exactly did they found him?
It's funny coincidence that in the same time this arrest happened, lot of github accounts with code contribution got deleted/banned.
So writing open source code was obviously big problem for someone when he had to do this.
