ntrepreneurs do not typically brag about their criminal records when promoting a new business venture. But Peter Levashov, one of Russia’s most notorious hackers, believes his rap sheet may help attract investors.
Levashov was one of the most famous cybercriminals caught in the U.S. government’s dragnet to arrest and extradite Russian hackers in the wake of the attacks targeting the 2016 presidential election. His arrest in April 2017, while on holiday in Spain, set off a legal battle over his extradition that lasted nearly a year. Levashov claimed at the time that U.S. authorities wanted him in connection with the Russian election hacks.
“My competitor is BlackRock,” he says, casually gunning for the world’s largest asset manager. If he can attract enough capital, Levashov also has plans to create his own cryptocurrency, his own cybersecurity company and, as he writes to would-be investors in a summary of the project published online this month, “anything you wish.”The four-page pitch is remarkably open about the criminal history that earned Levashov such nicknames as “the spam king” and “the bot master.
Can he expose the personal info of scalers, scammers, and crypto miners around the globe?
