Crypto crime figure Alexander Vinnik exchanged for detained U.S. teacher

The United States has agreed to release Russian national Alexander Vinnik, a suspected cybercrime figure, as part of a prisoner exchange that secured the freedom of American teacher Marc Fogel. Vinnik, 44, operated BTC-e, once one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. He was arrested in Greece in 2017 at Washington’s request on suspicion of laundering $4 billion through the platform, according to Reuters In May 2024, Vinnik pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and faced up to 20 years in prison. Marc Fogel, a history teacher from Pennsylvania, was detained in Russia in August 2021 for attempting to enter the country with approximately half an ounce of medical marijuana, prescribed to him in the United States for chronic pain. In June 2022, he was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to 14 years in a Russian penal colony. After extensive diplomatic negotiations, Fogel was released and returned to the U.S. on Feb. 11.
