Operational pseudonym "Drake": Roman Seleznev claims that since 2008 of the year he worked under the protection of the FSB
At the beginning of 2017, the case of Roman Seleznev, a large Russian carder from Vladivostok, known as: TRACK2, aka nCuX, aka Bulba, aka Roman Ivanov, aka Ruben Samvelich, aka bandysli64, aka smaus, aka Zagreb, aka shmak, etc.
I can not refrain from video quotes classics [2]
21 On April 2017, the Seattle court convicted Roman of 30 years in prison (27 years plus three years he had already served time). In other states, the process of the case of Roman has not yet begun, there he could face life imprisonment for RICO law.
What I decided to stir up this topic?
1. Because of night cuts with the “Operator”, this is a clipping of the most important of our counter-dictatorship:
Fully can be turned here.
In addition to the complete ignorance of the Constitution of the Russian Federation (as well as the Constitutions of the RSFSR and the USSR), my subatdosh was lost in time and in reality.
Decided to punish the orphaned Maldivians, for some reason, passing by the minds and ears of almost Europeans "ne brothers":
SBU showed a video of the abduction of Russian troops (22 November 2016).
2. "Operator" and, probably, 90% of the citizens of our country are poorly aware of how everything was, and they don't even know the background.
3. "I am plagued by vague doubts" - but more on that at the end of the article.
So, let's start “to beat” the Operator, but it does not hurt.
Arrest
In early July, 2014, the Secret Service discovered that Roman Seleznev and his family were resting in a five-star hotel in the Maldives. According to the agency interlocutors, Seleznev chose the Maldives because this state does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.
After receiving this information, the agents turned to US State Department officials, who had contacts with Maldivian law enforcement agencies. The head of the Maldives police agreed to help arrest the Russian, despite the absence of an extradition treaty.
The two agents of the United States Secret Service, arriving in the Maldives, drew up a plan, according to which the local police were to arrest Seleznev before he got on a plane to Russia. The Maldives authorities, according to this plan, Formally send Russians out of the countryand then transfer it to the Americans, who will deliver it by private jet to the island of Guam, which is in the jurisdiction of the United States.
At the last moment, the Maldives police stated that Interpol must issue a red notice to arrest Seleznev. The secret service hoped to avoid publicity, which would be caused by the Interpol publication of a request to search for a Russian at the request of the United States. As a result, agents sent a request to search Roman Seleznev in Interpol only when the Russian had already left the hotel and was on a small plane headed for the Maldivian capital Male, from where he was going to take the Transaero flight to Moscow.
The red notice to arrest Interpol looks like this (the character is different here):
I could not find the original, but judging by the absence of significant scandals and blockade of the Maldives Tavkr "Admiral Fleet Of the Soviet Union of Kuznetsov ”, as well as the landing of Kadyrov’s special forces in the capital of Male, the small country of Divehi Rajzhe Dzhumuhuriyya (as the Operator suggested), the formalities were observed.
Interpol procedure was followed.
How do I know if I received a red notice?
Compliance with arrest formalities
The arresting United States Secret Service agent Dan Swondner, speaking Thursday, 31 July 2014, at a court hearing in Guam. [...]
Secret Service Agent does not consider this an arrestbecause, according to his statement
I pinned it myself up to hiccups. We must pay tribute to amerikosy: at least give Roman a rest, once "upоcheno ". Not exactly animals, it’s coming out. Could receive a loan right before the rest. After that, the Russians were taken to the plane chartered by the Secret Service. As Suondner explained,
A small digression:
-Arder for the arrest of Roman Seleznev, a federal state court in Washington issued 2011 of the year in March.
-In 2013, the Maldivian authorities terminated a multi-year agreement with the Malay company, Nexbis, which supplied safety equipment. Instead, an American system of personal identification of passengers was established at the capital airport. PISCESprovided free of charge by US authorities.
And this very wide illuminated.
If someone on the wanted list drove into a country equipped with PISCES, there is practically no chance of leaving “just like that”. It has excellent protection against modified ears, forehead, eyes, hair, etc.
- The US court (according to their legislation) is not at all interested in how the defendant ended up in the United States. They are on the "drum". I suspect that if the accused is delivered to the United States in parts (in the form of "Professor Dowell's Heads", for example) - they still carry out the process. A jury explain why.
United States Secret Service - USSS, founded in 1865 year as a department of the Treasury Department (its task was to combat counterfeiting that had spread after the Civil War) continues to investigate counterfeiting of American banknotes and everything related to finances, like in the United States, and abroad.
Example: in November 2016, Secret Service confiscated in Peru counterfeit bills worth 30 million dollars. If they didn’t cope (or again what a sex scandal), then real guys from the United States Marshals Service, who began to specialize in searching for fugitive slaves since 1850, could also connect.
DURA LEX, SED LEX.
This is an American duraleks, supported by aircraft carriers, air force, army and paper dollar. I would not mind if the Russian also worked. Why not kidnapped and not returned under DURA LEX:
A lot of them...
And do not wet the Maldives (located next to Diego Garcia, by the way).
With pleasure I looked (in the dock) in the Basmanny court of Moscow such characters as: Avakov, Gerashchenko or Yaytsenyuk ...
And to the Operator
Since he thinks
French court released the ex-minister of the Moscow region Kuznetsov wanted by Russia.
Benefit under the guise of the election can be.
Charges
I will not prove anything and convince. I do not know and I do not judge. Just give the facts and information. Partially checked them, the rest - you can work. All the more: "From prison and from prison do not promise."
In the family of Roman Seleznyov, immediately after the arrest, they claimed[3]:
Yeah...
PS # 1. The novel really suffered greatly during the terrorist attack in Marrakesh in 2011, after which his wife ran away with all the money.
PS # 2.The problem of Valeriy Seleznev’s statement with PS # 1, namely from the timing of investigations and accusations.
The investigation into this group has begun. back in 2006 year and lasted more than seven years. According to investigators, 5626 people all over the world used the services of the site. Of these, 39, including Roman Seleznev, are considered the leaders of a criminal group. According to the prosecutor's office of Nevada, it was he who created the automated system for selling data of stolen bank cards. From the computers of the popular restaurant Broadway Grill in Seattle December 2009 to October 2010 32 numbers of thousands of credit cards were stolen. Among the establishments that, according to the investigation, “cleaned” Seleznev, there are four restaurants in Washington state, New York Latitude Bar and Grill, a jewelry store in Maine, a zoo in Phoenix, Arizona, a bakery in Seattle, several cafes of the chain Mad Pizza and a supermarket in Idaho.
According to the Washington State Prosecutor’s Office, only from November 2010 to February 2011 Roman Seleznyov stole numbers of more than 200 thousands of credit cards and sold 140 thousands of them on carder sites, earning more than two million dollars. The servers he used to steal data were rented in Russia, Ukraine, and McLean, Virginia. If you believe the documents of the investigation, it is this server located in the United States that made it possible to collect the main evidence against the son of a State Duma deputy. In 2010, the US Secret Service launched an investigation into the hacking of a supermarket’s computer network in Idaho, where details of several thousand credit cards were stolen. Some of them then surfaced on the “hacker” Internet forum in Russia, where the user with the nickname Track2 traded with them. To the surprise of the investigators, the rest of these abductors were stored on a server in Virginia.In 2011 year prosecutors of three states at once - Washington, Nevada and Georgia - officially charged Roman Seleznev with computer fraud, network hacking, identity theft and money laundering.
Resources track2.name and bulba.cc were used by Seleznyov for the direct sale of the stolen cards. The “package” of 100 cards went for the price of 1300 dollars, the “package” of a thousand cards was eight thousand. The hacker promised buyers "high availability" of the data they sell, at various times calling the number in 95 of the percent of active cards for one "package." According to the law enforcement agencies of the United States, the son of the deputy earned about two million dollars online.
The main points of the case are known to all, including from the grateful Roman's testimony.
One 11-page Roman's letter (link above) ends like this:
He has been selling dumps for a very long time, and is involved in the largest hacking of the Target, Neiman Marcus, Michaels, Staples and Home Depot chain stores, where dump trojans were installed directly on cash registers and PoS terminals. Father - State Duma Deputy Valery Seleznev, after the arrest of his son, demanded the introduction of Russian sanctions against the Maldives.
For all the tinsel among the hundreds of court documents in the case of Roman Seleznev, there are some details that may seem interesting to the general understanding of the picture of how carding lives in Russia and the entire cybercrime world in general.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to get the full set of documents from the PACER electronic database on the case of Roman Seleznev (2: 11-cr-00070-RAJ case), it needs more than a thousand dollars at a service price.

Of particular interest are some of the facts mentioned in the memorandum of sentencing. It turns out that the Americans had already established in 2009 that Roman Selezne was hiding behind an online character under the nCuX nickname. 19 May 2009 held a meeting of US Secret Service agents, the FBI, and their colleagues from the FSB in Moscow, where they presented "significant evidence" of the suspect's hacker activities, including carding and other crimes. The Americans told their FSB colleagues about the suspect’s online nicknames and information about the real identity of Roman Seleznev, a resident of Vladivostok. But the attempt of international cooperation failed. According to the documents, “just a month later, 21 on June 2009 of the year, nCuX informed his accomplices in numerous underground forums that he was going out of business. Soon after that, nCuX completely disappeared from the Internet. ” After that, he created the new online personalities Track2 and Bulba.
One might think that in this case there is a fact of cooperation between the FSB and the criminal world of cybercrime, about which say "experts".
It is possible that it is. In the documents of the investigation it is noted that information about the actions of US law enforcement agencies "was brought to Seleznyov." Apparently, he had his own contacts in the FSB. The investigation records mention an exchange of messages between Roman and his accomplice from 2008, where Roman says that he "I received protection through law enforcement contacts in the department for combating computer crime of the FSB."
In 2010, Roman told another accomplice that the FSB knows his real name and works with the FBI. The American special services were afraid that because of the impossibility of Roman's extradition from Russian territory (this is prohibited by the Constitution of the Russian Federation), this criminal could remain unpunished forever, because he enjoys the patronage of law enforcement agencies and the FSB in Russia.
Therefore, a special operation in the Maldives was the only chance for Americans. Although Roman was checking American records all the time. PACER, watched the investigation against him, and did not travel across countries where there was a risk of being "under the hood". He flew only to where the Americans, in his opinion, could not get him, but here he still miscalculated.
Among the money confiscated from him are coins. Liberty Reserve worth about $ 17 million. Roman sold dumps primarily for LR. The investigation found that he had sold all the dumps for LR in the amount of $ 17 886 971,09. The investigation failed to establish how much money Seleznev had on Bitcoin and WebMoney purses, for which he also accepted payment, due to the anonymity of these systems. It is likely that after his release, Roman will gain access to these wallets. If they (wallets) survive of course:
-In May, the 2013 LR was destroyed by the United States, by the time it was closed, there were about 1 million users on the site (200 thousands - from the United States). During its existence, $ 6 billion (£ 4 billion) has been laundered.
-Bitcoin probably the next, but it already costs more than $ 1500.
Roman Zolotaryov (known online as Admin and Support), Konstantin Lopatin (Graf), Alexander Kostyukov (Temp and KLBS) and Sergey Litvinenko (Dorbik and Matador) are mentioned in the case materials. The group also included citizens of Ukraine, China, Great Britain, Romania and several Arab countries.
To date, the US authorities have managed to arrest 19 people from this list. Roman Seleznyov became 20.
Bloomberg sources described Roman Seleznev as one of the most successful traders in stories stealing credit card data. According to sources, this activity brought a good income for Seleznev: in particular, he owned two apartments in Bali worth about $ 800 000. Bloomberg also reported that on Seleznev’s mobile phone after the arrest, photographs were found in which he poses near the yellow Dodge Challenger SRT car against the Kremlin or that captured cash in the back of an SUV. According to federal prosecutors, Seleznev held more than $ 18 million in two bank accounts.
On the scandal with lawyers
Lawyers of Seleznev found a conflict of interest.
O too harsh punishment
Really:
1.This is an unheard of time, to which even such major hackers as the Ukrainian Roman Vega, who received 18 years, or the Americans David Keimez (sat down on 20 years) and Alberto Gonzalez, who stole approx 45 million credit cards with accomplices (received also 20 years).
2. As already wrote: Affectionate Hand of the American Themis sometimes impressive.
However, based on the explanation and calculation of the user @SBKarr, everything seems to be logical (not strong in the laws + there will be more courts) for those interested, from 30 years.
In principle, that's all that I wanted to convey to ... let's say, to the OPERATOR. Maybe someone else will be interesting to think about.
Now about
Retreat: I am not an American, not a Pindos, not a liberal, and, like the majority of Russian citizens, I do not like Americans. But in moderation and without fanaticism.
Overall:
- Is the information reliable that the Americans warned the FSB about the hacker manners of Roman? I think yes.
- Did FSB-shniki use such opportunities and talents, of course, a gifted person? I think yes. And I would take advantage, and the Yankees enjoy
- Would the curator (s) from the FSB allow further misbehavior to Roman while on the state service (and even doing such serious things)? I think a normal curator is not! It is simply not reasonable and stupid.
You can also organize everything beautifully: case, court, term, change of name, place of residence, final equipment. And "work for the good of the Motherland", but neatly. There are many problems: elections are everywhere there, all sorts of NSA, Pettagons, SBU ... JOKE (in the style of the famous Rear Admiral Clown)!
Americans are the same because of money zhadobnye, this is their essence. And the special services and Snowden, all sorts of viruses on the Iranian nuclear program, they themselves are up to nothing in such affairs.
- How much money does a person need for happiness? It is not enough for me. Maybe Roman more. But after all it was possible to use a thread chairman of a thread? There are many Uzbeks in the territory of the Russian Federation who will not leave Mali for sure. Uzbek-worthy salary and work is not a communal enterprise, but in the sphere of high technologies, a lot of harm
Here is one more thing:
Uh ... Like the rivals of Wall Street, yes, all for. But if the "expropriation of the expropriators" (bank account) touches any of us?
As then? "Applause" and the landing of the RF Airborne Forces in Mali or for the other hand to reach out?
Operator - your opinion?
It is unlikely that Roman's pranks replenished the budget of the Russian Federation and contributed to the strengthening of the ruble (Ms. Nabibulina’s nightmare). Maybe whose personal budget replenished?
- Somehow all is clumsy. Whether qualification is lost, or "dizzy with success" [5], or FIG knows. About this separately in copy-paste "Prisoners of Thor".
For some reason, this story reminded D. Koretsky of the Operational Pseudonym: there, too, the competent comrades fouled up, and then sent to float freely.
A bit of history about papa deputy: In 2010, one bank complained about Seleznev to the Duma ethics committee, saying that it refuses to repay the loan "State Duma deputy from the Liberal Democratic Party does not return $ 33 million to Nomos-bank".
True or not - xs. But moral damage was not collected from the bank or the media.
As a legislator, Valery Sergeevich became famous as an author "The law of the male" - The draft law on the introduction of "paternal capital" for men who have several children from different women.
That's basically it.
Shl. In the title, I mentioned the operative pseudonym "Drake": please note that this is just my passage for the "herald". I did not want to offend neither Roman nor his relatives.
And maybe it’s not at all like this: there is no retainer / agent of the FSB Roman, and these are all mind games, probably not a completely healthy American mind.
It's just for fun. If offended - I apologize.
