On 18th May he was arrested at an airport, appearing in court the following Monday. His OpSec failure was due to his cryptocurrency payments being tracked (He bought personal domains using stolen BTC), which is ironic since his personal Twitter account's banner is of XMR.
If found guilty, he faces life sentence for engaging in continuing criminal enterprise, a maximum life sentence for narcotics conspiracy, a maximum 20 years in prison for money laundering and a maximum 5 years in prison for conspiracy to sell adulterated and misbranded medication.
IMO he had it coming considering his braindead choice to exit scam and extort but hey, what are your thoughts on this?
Had it coming, regardless of the karma that was set in place after that.
