Found his record in Russia's official company registry. This is what he officially does as an entepreneur:
56.10 — Restaurant activities and food delivery services
47.23 — Retail sale of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks in specialized stores
47.25.12 — Retail sale of beer in specialized stores
47.25.2 — Retail sale of soft drinks in specialized stores
47.29.39 — Retail sale of other food products in specialized stores, not included in other groups
68.20 — Lease and management of own or leased real estate
Money is reinvested into selling beer and fish :) Interestingly, he registered all that in 2019, just when the ransoms started.

- tokai 6mo ago> 56.10 — Restaurant activities and food delivery services That one is a classic for russian criminals and warlords.
- randomNumber7 6mo agoThis has nothing to do with russia. All over the world it's an obvious choice to use it for money laundering.
- tokai 6mo agoYevgeny Prigozhin was well known for his restaurants and catering businesses.
- randomNumber7 6mo agoAnd you don't understand simple logic.
- tokai 6mo agoAnd you should reread the HN guidelines.
- ecshafer 6mo agoI find it entertaining that even as part of a Russian hacking gang, the real threat is the Russian tax authorities. Regardless of how you got the money, need to pay the taxes.
- diath 6mo agoThat's not specific to Russia, almost every country in the world requires you to report illegal income for tax purposes, including the US.
- jojobas 6mo agoHis first, middle and last names are among the more popular, chances are you found a namesake.
- kgeist 6mo agoSchukin isn't a very common last name (definitely not Ivanov-tier). The first name, the patronymic (his father is Maksim) and the last name all match, as well as the city (the article says he lives in Krasnodar). In fact, this Krasnodar-based entrepreneur is the only person that shows up in the search at all for "Daniil Maksimovich Schukin". Not to say the business was registered right when the ransoms started (2019). Too many coincidences if it's just a namesake.
