Pretty bad article. Author is more interested in detailing their own hunt for the guy and inserting themself into the story (apartment trashed after booking a plane ticket?) than establishing basic facts about the crime. I’m not even sure about the most important thing after reading the entire article — how much did the guy actually steal? It’s reportedly $2B from 400k people at the time, but the dude claimed in court that there were only 2027 claimants claiming $45m (is that true? Should be easy to establish from court documents), and dude claimed to have paid back $10m to 1000 people, after which “when the cold wallet was empty, he threw it into the Ionian Sea” (wat?). There’s zero comment from the author on this two orders of magnitude discrepancy, wtf.
