HashFlare co-founders win appeal against extradition to US on fraud and money laundering charges
The co-founders of Bitcoin cloud miner HashFlare, Ivan Turogin and Sergei Potapenko, have been successful in their appeal against extradition to the United States. The two men were facing 18 counts of fraud and money laundering in relation to their operation of HashFlare, which was allegedly a Ponzi scheme with hundreds of thousands of victims and over $575 million paid in. The Tallinn Circuit Court overturned a lower court's order on Nov. 29, citing procedural irregularities and European Court of Justice and European Court of Human Rights practice. The businessmen and their families are set to receive over $110,000 in reimbursement, with the decision open to appeal until Dec. 11.
