The Trump administration has agreed to send a convicted money launderer back to Russia in exchange for the release of [American teacher Mark Fogel](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/marc-fogel-american-teacher-held-russia-3-12-years-released-rcna191722), a U.S. official told NBC News on Wednesday.
[Alexander Vinnik](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russian-suspected-running-4-billion-bitcoin-laundering-ring-arrested-n786716) is currently in American custody and awaiting transport back to Russia, which is expected to happen by the end of the week, the official said.
As part of the deal to free him, Vinnik will leave behind $100 million dollars worth of digital assets in the U.S., the official said.
“Digital assets” being left in the US. So who gets the Russian guy’s crypto?
