So you're saying he continued to commit crimes up until May 2017? That's when WannaCry happened. His fame came on pretty quickly after that and it didn't take long for him to get arrested. Edit: The source code leaked at some point so its hard to tell when he stopped selling it based on available malware samples. New variants were detected at least as late as 2018. He was accused of selling it in 2014 and 2015 though, so there's a decent chance that he stopped a couple of years before his arrest.
