thewayneHe was arrested in Italy and extradited to the US and faces up to 30 years if convicted.
He did a lot of nasty things to Krebs, perhaps the ultimate was mailing him heroin. He took up a Bitcoin collection on a cybercrime forum and bought a small quantity on the Silk Road. He apparently was unaware that Krebs and others had access to the forum and saw what was going on. Krebs contacts the authorities and told them what was about to happen, when the package arrived he called them again and they picked it up: high-grade stuff was in the package.
After his arrest, he sent a letter to Krebs apologizing for his activities and later sent a holiday postcard. Krebs thinks it might be part of a 12-step program, an early step being to apologize to those whom you've hurt.
Interesting stuff.
