The Russian media outlets are sharing info about the alleged deal the U.S. authorities have offered to Alexander Vinnik. According to the wide list of the U.S. law enforcement agencies, Vinnik has been involved the management of BTC-e - an exchange which allowed cryptocurrency trading and, more importantly, laundered money for criminal syndicates.

The information has not been confirmed directly by Alexander Vinnik, but anonymous sources tell he was against the deal which was basically an admission of guilt in exchange for a shorter period of imprisonment. In older news, Mr. Vinnik has rejected the existence of any informal offerings made by the United States authorities. More on the criminal case can be read in previous materials of Bitnewstoday on this topic.

Someone has reportedly tried to poison Alexander Vinnik, but the Greek police (currently under arrest in their facilities because he was found in this country) has prevented it and raised the level of security. Without making any speculations, the death of Vinnik would have been extremely beneficial for those who do not want him to be extradited to the United States and/or disclose information on money laundering.
