I just found out that Igor, the CEO of BitRiver, was arrested for tax evasion in Russia. He was detained at the end of January and is now under house arrest while everything is being resolved. It's quite serious considering that BitRiver is one of the largest Bitcoin mining operations in Russia. The guy had an estimated net worth of about $230 million not long ago, but he had been facing problems since the U.S. sanctioned the company years ago. It seems that the legal issues in Russia have added to everything else. Interesting how the mining industry continues to have these conflicts with authorities.
