US Offers $6 Million Bounty for Arrest of Key Figures Behind Russia’s Garantex Cryptocurrency Exchange

The U.S. government is offering a reward of up to $6 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of key figures responsible for the now-closed Russian cryptocurrency exchange, Garantex. This action follows sanctions on one of the platform’s founders, Sergey Mendeleev, who allegedly used the platform to facilitate money laundering and other criminal activities in a bid to circumvent sanctions imposed by the U.S. government.
