According to the news from Mars Finance, Rostislav Panev, a developer of the Lockbit ransomware, has been extradited to the United States and is currently detained and awaiting trial. The US Department of Justice's indictment shows that he has been serving as a programmer for the software since 2022 and has received cryptocurrency transfers worth approximately $230,000. With the servers being seized and associates pleading guilty, Lockbit may face further blows, but the key figures, such as the organization's leader Dmitry Khoroshev, are still at large. (News.bitcoin) Previous reports indicate that Russian citizen Ruslan Magomedovich Astamirov and Mikhail Vasiliev, who holds dual Canadian and Russian citizenship, have also been identified as members of the Lockbit organization. They were arrested in 2023 and 2022 respectively and may face up to 25 and 45 years in prison.
