Anatoly Legkodymov, a Russian national living in China, was arrested in Miami on Tuesday on charges that he operated the exchange as an unlicensed money exchange business that "in his own words, catered to 'known crooks,'" a top Justice Department official said.

What the hell was he doing in Florida? Seriously, how can make such risky trips when you know what you're doing behind the counter, and being a Russian right now in the US involved in laundering money? Even if I were a perfectly clean owner of a Russian exchange I would not set foot in the US now!

He moved from China to Florida and lived there (the articledodn't say it I believe)
Surely to live "the crypto life" with lambo and big house. Propably more funy to live it in Florida than China.
