In response to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation's request for cooperation, the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) conducted an investigation and found Mr Medvedev, 31, was in Bangkok, the source said. CSD investigators found the Russian suspect was trading illegal products online using the Bitcoin currency, said the source. The US claimed that Mr Medvedev was a co-founder of the site, and No.2 it its hierarchy. Members could buy and sell card and personal data for use to buy goods on the internet, defrauding the card owners, card issuers and vendors. The senior administrators - allegedly including Mr Medvedev - continuously screened the products and services of vendors "to ensure quality products," said the indictment.
