The criminal case of Russian Alexander Vinnik, who was extradited to the United States on charges of laundering at least $4 billion through the BTC-e bitcoin exchange, is scheduled for September 27. Reported by RIA Novosti with reference to Judge Sally Kim.

Until then, Vinnik will remain in custody at Santa Rita prison in California.

He is expected to be represented by attorney David Rizk, a public defender.

In the US, Vinnik faces 55 years in prison.

Recall that Alexander Vinnik was detained in Greece in the summer of 2017. He was extradited to France in 2020 and later sentenced to five years in prison and a 100,000 euro fine in a money laundering case. He was cleared of extortion charges and the creation of the Locky ransomware malware.

In early August 2022, the Russian was taken to the USA. The court refused to release him on bail.
