50% Russian. Nice!
- TrainedMonkey 13y agoAlmost, still that demonstrates how good Russians got at exploiting the system.
- socillion 13y agoI disagree, it demonstrates that the US government has a hard time prosecuting Russians.
- wyclif 13y agoActually, it only demonstrates the effect of the lack of an extradition treaty with Russia.
- socillion 13y agoWe're splitting hairs here, so what about the possibility of Russian and US law enforcement cooperating under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, or similar agreements, but not extraditing?
- walshemj 13y agoOr the the lack of a extradition treaty to the west - dont want Andrey Lugovoy extradited The MET police and presumably the security service have some questions they would like to ask him a few questions.
- dsl 13y ago...or more likely to be identified due to poor skills.
- Barnaby3000 13y ago"Those sneaky fucking Russians."
- rhizome 13y agoOr how good they are at receiving exploit infos from FBI/NSA, who create them.
- fierycatnet 13y agoRussian hackers/coders are good and there is no doubt about it. Former USSR mathematicians and scientists were always good so it so no surprise that Russians have strong cyber security and cyber crime minds. People like to downplay it but the trend is there. I recall carderplanet, one of the biggest credit card fraud community in the world, and some recent nasty malware that were developed there. Gotta give them credit.
- VladRussian2 13y agoout of 4 Russian sounding last names, 2 are Latvian citizens, born there in 87 and 89. Latvia got separated somewhen during 89-91. Considering the situation with Russians in Baltic states, these guys are most probably not "Latvians", yet they are probably noticeably different from "Russians" (similarly to children of many Russian immigrants in US).
- oddx 13y agoFive: - ALEXSEY BELAN: Belan has Russian citizenship and is known to hold a Russian passport - PETERIS SAHUROVS: Sahurovs is thought to be in Rezekne, Latvia. He may also visit Kiev, Ukraine - ARTEM SEMENOV: Semenov speaks both Russian and English, although his English may not be that good. He tends to stay close to Russian communities. - ALEXANDR SERGEYEVICH BOBNEV: Bobnev has a Russian Passport and has ties to Russia. - ANDREY NABILEVICH TAAME: Taame speaks both English and Russian. He holds a Russian passport and Russian citizenship.
- VladRussian2 13y agoTaame born in Siria, the last name isn't Russian, very frequently it would mean that his father was some Sirian guy (named Nabil or Nabeel [an Arabian male name] as Russian middle names are given base on the name of the father) sent for education, civilian or military, to USSR who married and brought back a Russian girl.
- oddx 13y agoGiven that he has russian (slavic) first name that sounds plausible.
