The United states wants BTC-e to pay $110 million and vinnick to pay $ 12 million.Vinnick says that the allegations are false and takes vladimir putins help.
Russia Today we read the official interview with Vinnik:
Vinnik says he was arrested in July by the police unjustly.
When asked why he was arrested unjustly, Vinnik responds
"The US authorities took me as a citizen of Russia and for that reason I was detained. The United States had no right to accuse me of anything. I do not think I did something that led to breaking the law, besides what relationship the United States has with me? What was my right to be arrested? "
BTC-e was closed at the end of July due to technical difficulties. Later, it became apparent that the FBI had claimed 45 percent of the funds, and that the users were compensated for the rest of the 55 percent.
The reason for the US interest was allegedly breaking the law, among other things, money laundering, and Vinnik suspected such actions.
