ShadowCrew forum member handed over to the US
A former member of the ShadowCrime cybercrime forum has been extradited to the United States to face trial on charges of conspiring, transferring false identity documents and offering access to devices without authentication, the New Jersey district attorney said today.
Bulgarian national Aleksi Kolarov, also known as APK, has been under arrest in Paraguay for the last two years and landed in the United States on Friday last week.
The 30 year old was apprehended in the Paraguayan capital Asunción with large amounts of cash in multiple currencies and also a money card magnetic strip writer, US authorities said. Kolarov was one of approximately 4,000 participants from all over the world in the ShadowCrew forum, which was started in 2002 by college student Andrew "D3ck" Mantovani and retired mortgage broker David "BlackOps" Appleyard.
