It generally is, but you need to quell the flames from time to time. When it became a liability for Russia, likely from the high profile attacks over the past 12 months, you have to act.
My guess is:
- No one is extradited.
- Sentences, if any, are minimal.
- Whatever data collected by these guys is now in the hands of RU intelligence.
- The smarter/competent ones are recruited.
The raids are also interesting because you don't see the same flamboyance we saw from eastern European carders after their raids. Wheres the pet tiger? And the foreign sports cars? I'm curious if perhaps this was a raid on the lower level personnel.
Or maybe this was completely staged and none of these people are associated with REvil at all.

And the foreign sports cars? The article mentions: "Authorities said they seized more than 426 million rubles, $600,000, and €500,000 in cash, along with cryptocurrency wallets, computers, and 20 expensive cars." I doubt they were all lower-level personnel
- SCHiM 5y agoWell, since the article talks about cash we can't be certain. But if those wallets hold less than 50kk then they are not the big fish.
- unionpivo 5y ago> - Sentences, if any, are minimal. yeah not in Russia. They don't go easy on people, even if its for "show". This people are f**.
- kgeist 5y ago>They don't go easy on people, even if its for "show" I think quite the contrary, if it's a show trial, they'll get maximum sentences. Giving them minimal sentences would make the whole thing pointless.
- paulpauper 5y agothey would have been more fucked in the US. no parole, tons of charges and counts stacked.
- vkou 5y agoIt's a near thing, but I'd probably take my chances with a US prison over a Russian one. Neither one would be my first, second, or even third choice, though.
