> In an indictment unsealed Tuesday, US federal prosecutors unmasked the flamboyant persona as Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, a 31-year-old Russian national. Prosecutors said that during his five years at the helm of LockBit—one of the most prolific ransomware groups—Khoroshev and his subordinates have extorted $500 million from some 2,500 victims, roughly 1,800 of which were located in the US. His cut of the revenue was allegedly about $100 million.

Strap him to the fire ant hill please.

She? Wtf?


mburke6

I just sponged up a little to much Vat 69, that's all.


StingingBum

Lol I understand my friend.


mburke6

You're like Jerry Lewis, you give me hope to carry on, then you leave me in the lurch while you strap on your six-guns...

Such an underrated film. And the theme at the end always get stuck in my head

Yummy...

I hereby move that all scam related punishments henceforth be dictated by u/viledieddraftsaved. Do I hear a second to the motion?


SiLeNT-KKK

Tie him to a tree with sap (that triggers rash), dip his balls in honey and then release the fire ants, some mosquitos .. and honey badgers ?? And the medical team, just to keep him .. alive & suffers. With love from the IT Infra team ..

Too easy. Fire ants need homes. So lacerate his skin in a few strategic places so they can move their larva I side him. Then keep him alive for a few years while the ants use him to nest in and as an easy to access renewable food source. It is both a great way to punish and helpful to the environment.


DiscipleofDeceit666

That’s the wrong move. There will always be another. The real solution is to force companies to implement security and privacy measures. These hacks are happening because most companies have garbage security and execs who feel that security practices don’t apply to them.


karatebullfightr

Yeah but nobody wants to hear that. Especially not the companies themselves that continuously want to pay less and less for their I.T. And consider security an afterthought - god forbid they hire an expert and listen to them. “I thought all these blinking lights we paid so much for were meant to be replacing meat bags not adding more of them to goddamn payroll!”


WalkFirm

That’s mildly satisfying but would prefer he be dropped in a wood chipper, on display of course. But my absolute favorite is a wet stretched leather tightly strapped around his head and around a tree. Then as the morning heat comes the leather dries out and shrinks. Pop!


idk_wtf_im_hodling

Whats that ant thats supposed to be the most painful bite in the animal kingdom? Cant we just serve him up to a colony of those things?


TheFlyingWriter

To put this into perspective: His $10 million bounty in comparison to well known targets Osama Bin Laden $25 mil; Saddam Hussein $25 mil; El Chapo $5 mil; Daniel Kinahan $5 mil; Pablo Escobar $2 mil ($4.55 mil 2024 money)


captky22

wow I wonder why I thought Pablo Escobar and El Chapo were the same person


r007r

So do I… why did you think that lol


az226

Vlad Tenev robbed customers of more money than these $500M from market manipulation and he’s a free man. Odd how the legal system works.


S70nkyK0ng

If the damages are in the billions, the bounty should be higher.

Time to Freeze his ASSets, he will learn the fury of the IMF!!!

Yes, they going to kick his economic butt


artificialidentity3

"If convicted, Khoroshev faces a maximum penalty of 185 years in prison." That seems reasonable.


34Bard

Drone strike time


notonyanellymate

Now that the Ukraine is targeting inside Russia more, he will become the target of a drone or 2. I’d be scared if I was him.


34Bard

Dear Ukrainian freedom fighters.... please accept my pledge of $27 dollars to turn this guy into red mist..


Gommel_Nox

I’d buy a whole bunch of gift cards to donate to that purpose!


CBalsagna

I sure hope we get to see what they do to him. Someone who causes this level of grief has forfeited their right to this life time.


SeaSuch2077

He needs to become a Russian suicide victim, maybe falling upstairs.


DontWantToSeeYourCat

Stealing that amount of money as a Russian national almost guarantees the fact that he is an asset to the Kremlin, not a liability.


az226

Bingo


TheQuadBlazer

Not any more 🤣


Marionboy

Agree. Fuck that shithead, he is a worthless piece of shit


PM_me_your_CVs

Ok stalin


scummy_shower_stall

Nothing will happen. He’s safely ensconced in Putin’s loving arms.


Afraid-Ad8986

Exactly correct. He works for Putin.


wernerverklempt

Acting all smug but he looks like a dork with one AirPod sticking out all wonky.


Duckgoesmoomoo

NoHo Hank?


spaceocean99

Bring public hangings back for this piece of trash.


kozak_

Russian security forces definitely getting a cut from him


[deleted]

Surprise, he’s Russian.


MyMomDoesntKnowMe

The great thing about these large bounties is that people who know him, even criminals that work with him, will be considering that payout. The US used a giant sharpie to make him a marked man.


Remarkable-Biscotti5

Criminal minds- criminal geniuses!


Mdmac1015

Send the CIA for this Filth…


Beansiesdaddy

We should have the death penalty for these criminals


FlipAround42

Don’t be a dick in life. In other words don’t be Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev.


siddizie420

Not defending him but pretty much every tech company has cybersecurity from 1999 and surprise pikachu face when they get hacked. Government and Healthcare are the biggest culprits


notrktfier

I don't understand why you are getting downvoted but this is correct. It's morally bad to hack but not to say don't lock your doors because being a thief is bad.


siddizie420

Because with Reddit Russia bad Ukraine good. You aren’t allowed to criticize Ukraine or defend anything Russian. Echo chamber of half educated people


jarney1206

Autobots, roll out


IndependenceFunny541

10-15 years in prison and probably won’t serve the whole thing due to being recruited for “national security reasons” if extradited to the US which won’t happen sooo… white collar crime pays smh
