Now defunct crypto exchange WEX's ex-CEO Dmitri Vasilev was arrested in Italy according to the BBC's Russian services. WEX shut down in 2018 following a dispute with a new owner, frozen Ether ($ETH) on Binance, and consumer deposits being locked on WEX. Russia and numerous neighboring countries set up police investigations into the exchange and Vasilev. WEX was once BTC-e, an exchange linked to the Mt.Gox collapse.
