Newly unsealed court documents have revealed that Mt. Gox was hacked in 2011 by Russian nationals, who stole over 647,000 bitcoin from the wallets between 2011 and 2014. The stolen bitcoin was liquidated through US companies and transferred to now-defunct crypto exchange BTC-e. The Department of Justice has updated its indictment of Alexander Vinnik, stating that his co-founders and co-owners of BTC-e did not participate in the exchange's criminal activities. Vinnik is currently seeking a prisoner swap with Russia and may be exchanged for Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
