PHUKET:-- Russian national Anton Bogdanov, arrested at Phuket International Airport at the request of the US Government on Nov 28, has waived his right to fight extradition to the US to face cybercrime hacking charges, says the Russian embassy in Bangkok.

 

Mr Bogdanov made decision not to fend off the extradition request in Thai court and agreed to be extradited to the US yesterday (Jan 28), said Vladimir Pronin, Head of Consular Section at the Russian Embassy in Bangkok.

 

“He made decision to agree to voluntary accelerated extradition to the USA, refusing to try to fend off the American request in Thai court,” Russian news service RIA Novosti quotes Pronin as saying.

I was sure he was already in the US. Maybe not so important what he did after all. 

 

Maybe the US guys are interested in his knowledge on "how to do it" so they can improof their system - means he will get a deal and some discount on the jail time.

If I was American I wouldn't be making any trips to Russia in the immediate future.

We were going to give you lifetime jail but this deal will get you ten years off that. My sort of "creative thinking". But............
