Found his record in Russia's official company registry. This is what he officially does as an entepreneur:

  56.10 — Restaurant activities and food delivery services

  47.23 — Retail sale of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks in specialized stores

  47.25.12 — Retail sale of beer in specialized stores

  47.25.2 — Retail sale of soft drinks in specialized stores

  47.29.39 — Retail sale of other food products in specialized stores, not included in other groups

  68.20 — Lease and management of own or leased real estate
Money is reinvested into selling beer and fish :) Interestingly, he registered all that in 2019, just when the ransoms started.

Classic money laundering.

I find it entertaining that even as part of a Russian hacking gang, the real threat is the Russian tax authorities. Regardless of how you got the money, need to pay the taxes.

That's not specific to Russia, almost every country in the world requires you to report illegal income for tax purposes, including the US.

This has nothing to do with russia. All over the world it's an obvious choice to use it for money laundering.

And you don't understand simple logic.
