Vinnik, who is Russian, is accused of laundering billions of dollars in cryptocurrency and faces decades in prison and more than $100 million in fines. He was extradited to the United States from Greece last month.
A prisoner swap is a provocative idea, especially because there is a very high-profile American inmate in Russia — WNBA star Brittany Griner, doing nine years for drug charges that her attorneys have appealed.Does Vinnik have vast riches of stolen cryptocurrency stashed away somewhere?
