Ukraine also doesn't give up its citizens, just like Russia. Ukrainian and Russian hackers are often caught in their holiday trips abroad, when they relax from their money stealing activities. But that's the point of luxury life - it's easier to live it in US than in Ukraine.
And why is that "bad"?

- Bartweiss 7y agoIt is interesting that he decided to stick around in Washington after ripping off Microsoft. He bought a $1.6M house there, so he presumably liked the area, but it seems like one hell of a risk. Even if he kept coming to the US or had his banked funds seized, locating hard assets like the house in Ukraine would do quite a bit to improve his odds of a good outcome. Among other things, a potential $250k fine on a $10M theft doesn't sound like much, but it's got to be tough to pay off with your assets seized and your career prospects crippled. Having some seizure-proof goods in another country would have made that a lot more manageable. Of course, the risk/reward on this sort of thing is usually crummy regardless, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised (much less disappointed) that the people involved tend to make some other risky choices.
