Unsealed: Charges against Russians blamed for Mt Gox crypto-exchange collapse

American prosecutors have unsealed an indictment against two Russians who allegedly had a hand in the ransacking and collapse of Mt Gox a decade ago, an implosion that cost the cryptocurrency exchange’s thousands of customers most of their digital coins. In addition, one of the accused, 43-year-old Alexey Bilyuchenko, also was indicted for working with another Russian national, Alexander Vinnik, to run a crypto exchange – BTC-e – that was used for six years by cybercriminals to launder and move their ill-gotten gains, it’s claimed.
