The Russian was detained in the United States two months ago and taken into custody pending a money laundering trial. On Thursday, March 23, Legkodymov turned to the community for help.
United States law allows you to leave prison before a decision is made in the case if the defendant has guarantors, Bitzlato explains. Legkodymov and the team urge those who wish to help them to write to
Telegram.
“The crypto community knows Anatoly as a decent, law-abiding person and wants to help him get out of prison on bail until the end of the trial,” the exchange team assures.
User activity Anatoly Legkodymov on the forum bitcointalk.org can be traced from 2011, on the Bits.media forum from 2016.
Anatoly Legkodymov and partners created the future Bitzlato in the mid-1910s as a Telegram-cryptocurrency exchange called ChangeBot. In a few years, the project has expanded to “a single crypto platform that includes an exchange, a p2p exchanger, a mining pool and secure wallets.” Bitzlato ceased operations on January 18, 2023, at the same time it became known about the detention of the co-founder. Since March 1, the crypto exchange, which is accused by foreign law enforcement officers of money laundering, has announced in the Telegram channel that depositors can start withdrawing funds.
