US offers $2.5 million reward for information on Belarusian hacker
The U.S. Department of State is offering a reward of up to $2.5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Belarusian national Volodymyr Kadariya, who is suspected of involvement in a “significant malware organization.”
Kadariya, 38, also known by his aliases “Stalin,” “Eseb” and “baxus,” allegedly transmitted the Angler Exploit Kit and other malware to the computers “of millions of unsuspecting victims” using online advertisements from October 2013 through March 2022.
At that time, the Angler Exploit Kit “was a leading vehicle through which cybercriminals delivered malware onto compromised electronic devices,” the U.S. Department of State said in a statement on Monday. At its peak, Angler represented 40% of all exploit kit infections, targeting around 100,000 devices and generating an estimated annual turnover of around $34 million, according to the British National Crime Agency (NCA).
Kadariya was indicted in June and charged with financial and computer fraud. The malvertising campaigns he was involved in were designed to appear legitimate but often redirected victims to malicious websites designed to defraud them or infect their devices with malware.

That’s a lot of money, especially if you’re Russian or Belarusian and dream of a free life in the West.

He will be toasted in no time
you think he/she is lurking on LET? :P
Given how he has been ID'd and not charged in Russia he's probably connected. I doubt something will happen as long as he doesn't take a vacation outside his country.
Headhunters inside his country simply take him and bring to any country in the world for 2.5 mill. Money talks.
With how long the operation ran and how much they supposedly made he could pay off the headhunters.
And working with headhunters to cheat an extradition is too much even for the US I think.
That's 10 banks worth of money.
FDIC insures $250,000 in each bank, so you need 10 banks to store $2,500,000.
