So, gather ’round, folks! Let me tell you about Aleksei Andriunin, the Russian mastermind behind Gotbit, who thought he could play hide and seek with the U.S. authorities! Spoiler alert: he lost! 🎭
Picture this: Aleksei, a mere 26 years old, was arrested in Portugal on October 8, 2024, probably while trying to order a vodka martini with a side of market manipulation. Fast forward to February 25, 2025, and he’s being whisked away to the U.S. like a bad magician’s assistant! 🎩✨
Now, our boy Aleksei found himself in a Boston federal court, where he was given a warm welcome—by way of jail detention! I mean, who doesn’t love a good staycation in the slammer? 🏨🚔
On Halloween 2024, he got a real treat: a federal indictment from a grand jury! Two counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to manipulate markets. Sounds like a fun night out, right? 🎃💼
Gotbit, the company that Aleksei ran like a circus, was the ringmaster of artificial trading! They were pumping up the market like a balloon at a kid’s birthday party from 2018 to 2024. 🎈🎉 And guess what? They made it rain fake trading volume for their clients, making cryptocurrencies look as popular as a cat video on the internet! 🐱💻
As the President and CEO, Aleksei was the captain of this ship of fools! In a 2019 interview, he bragged about writing code for “wash trading.” I mean, who knew washing your hands could lead to washing your trades? 🧼💸
Andriunin and his crew were pitching their wash trading services like they were selling hotcakes! Meanwhile, Kedrov was giving the lowdown on how to dodge the blockchain like it was a game of dodgeball! 🏐💨
But wait, there’s more! Aleksei allegedly transferred millions from Gotbit into his personal Binance account. Because, you know, who wouldn’t want to keep their ill-gotten gains nice and cozy? 💵😏
