Kickass Torrents owner arrested in Poland on U.S. charges
Artem Vaulin, the alleged Ukrainian owner of file-sharing website KickassTorrents (KAT), has been arrested by Polish police on U.S. charges of criminal copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit money laundering, prosecutors say.
Vaulin, who is 30, was arrested by local police in Poland on Wednesday, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois. The U.S. will seek to extradite Vaulin to the United States to stand trial, it said.
A criminal complaint filed in U.S. federal court charges Vaulin with one count of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, and two counts of criminal copyright infringement.
The news of the arrest and charges came as Kickass Torrents appeared to be experiencing technical difficulties. It was not immediately clear whether U.S. authorities had seized control of the website, as no law enforcement message was visible on the site, but most of the website's domains were inaccessible by 7 p.m. ET.
sucks! i use that site atleast they are on the dark net also
I hate how whatever it is the guy is arrested for, "money laundering" charge will always be slapped on to add on the weight. It's like the use of fiat are meant to be so limited that its improper use can be use to legally destroy someone.
They learn fom Capone trial if you can't for the original charges try with others
I preffer the pics of the whore
