    Prior to his arrest in 2021, Sachkov publicly chastised the Kremlin for turning a blind eye to the epidemic of ransomware attacks coming from Russia. In a speech covered by the Financial Times in 2021, Sachkov railed against the likes of Russian hacker Maksim Yakubets, the accused head of a hacking group called Evil Corp. that U.S. officials say has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade.

    It seems crazy that he didn’t realize that these were Russia sponsored when the rest of the world knew it.

      NOW? Waging war against themselves is the the #3 time sink of the Russian populace.

      1 is alcohol, 2 is being an asshole to everyone that isn’t Russian.
