Greece Supreme Court rejects appeal for BTC-e owner against US extradition for $4b laundering charges
The Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece has rejected an appeal by Russian Bitcoin expert Aleksander Vinnik to avoid extradition to the US to face more than 20 indictments of felony counts, including money laundering and fraud involving Bitcoins worth over $4b.
Vinnik who allegedly owned and operated disgraced crypto currency exchange BTC-e, has a competing extradition request from Russia. The ruling was immediately criticized by Russian authorities as illegal, insisting that its request “takes precedence [over another country’s] as Vinnik is a citizen of the Russian Federation.”
