This may relate to the Bangkok MahaNakon post: Thailand police arrest Russian cyber criminal Sergey Medvedev in Bangkok Feb 2nd. News on this didn't drop until the 9th. He is a 31 year old fraudster who fled to Thailand six years ago and has been running a dark web currency exchange that benefits identity thieves and black market customers. Reports say he was arrested at home.

Quite interesting that he was left alone for six years....

Edit: He had 100,000 Bitcoin in his possession at the time of the arrest!!!! That's $820 MM! Also, there are 36 other co-conspirators of his Infraud network that have indictments. So far, 13 have been arrested in 17 countries. Infraud is linked with Ukrainian cyber criminals. His home was the City Gate building which is close by the MahaNakon tower.
