Lockbit ransomware developer Rostislav Panev has been extradited to the US
according to Bitcoin.com, Lockbit ransomware developer Rostislav Panev has been extradited to the United States, currently detained and awaiting trial. According to charges from the U.S. Department of Justice, he has been working as a programmer for the software since 2022 and received around $230,000 worth of cryptocurrency transfers. With the servers being seized and associated parties confessing, Lockbit may face further crackdowns, but key figures such as organization leader Dmitry Khoroshev are still at large.
It is reported that Russian citizen Ruslan Magomedovich Astamirov and Mikhail Vasiliev, who holds dual Canadian and Russian citizenship, have been identified as members of the Lockbit organization. They were arrested in 2023 and 2022, respectively, and may face up to 25 and 45 years in prison.
