Authorities found 1.7 million CC numbers on his computer when he was arrested, but prosecutors said he stole as many as 2.9 million between 2009 and 2013. Seleznev sold those CC details in bundles on forums and websites, which were then used for fraudulent purchases. In all, his scheme led to $169 million in losses for banks and other financial institutions. '

Seleznev's lawyers plan to appeal his case and argue that his 2014 arrest was basically a kidnapping. They also claim that authorities didn't secure the laptop they took from him, so they'll challenge the evidence collected from the computer, as well. He is scheduled for sentencing on December 2nd, 2016 and will be imprisoned for four years at the very least.
