Switzerland Extradites Alleged Russian Hackers to U.S. in Insider Trading Case

Five Russians including a Kremlin-linked businessman now in U.S. custody carried out a vast, $82 million insider trading scheme that allowed them to profit from corporate information stolen through hacking, U.S. authorities said. Vladislav Klyushin, the owner of a Moscow-based information technology company that prosecutors said had extensive ties to the Russian government, was extradited from Switzerland to face conspiracy, securities fraud and other charges in Boston.
