The judge said the 18 months Anatoly Legkodymoc had already served in Brooklyn’s “terrible” MDC was enough punishment.
The founder of the defunct crypto exchange Bitzlato has reportedly been spared further jail time after his exchange processed over $700 million in illicit proceeds from the Russian dark web.
In a New York District Court on July 18, Judge Eric Vitaliano sentenced Anatoly Legkodymoc to time served after he pleaded guilty to one charge of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, according to reports.
Judge Vitaliano said the 18 months that Legkodymov had already served at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC) was considered more than enough punishment for his crimes.
