Bitzlato exchange founder seeks help from crypto community for release on bail.
This week, Legkodymov issued his call for help through crypto media. U.S. law allows defendants to be released before a decision is made in their case, provided they find guarantors for their bail, his lawyers explained, quoted by the Russian crypto news outlet Bits.media. A group of Russian associates urged those who wish to help him to reach out on Telegram, stating:
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. A user by the name “Anatoly Legkodymov” has been active on the Bitcointalk.org forum since 2011, the report noted, as well as on the Bits.media forum since 2016, when the crypto entrepreneur and his partners started their trading business under the name Changebot which later became Bitzlato.
Legkodymov appeared in New York federal court for the first time in mid-March, when he was ordered held without bail. The Russian denies the U.S. money laundering charges.
