The BBC Russian Service named a Kiev resident named Sergei as the author of the reports about bombs in courts and schools
The alleged organizer of the mass sending of messages about the mining of Russian courts, schools and other institutions is called Sergey, he previously lived in Kyiv. A source close to the security forces told the BBC Russian Service about this.
The publication's source also reported that the possible organizer had 120 bitcoins stuck on the Wex exchange .
Two BBC sources in Moscow City Hall said that reports of bomb threats came from Ukrainian territory.
The sources' information is indirectly confirmed by the email addresses from which the bomb threat was sent, writes the BBC: judging by them, the author could have been trading on online exchanges and had an account on both Wex and BTC-e.
Thus, one of the letters was sent to the St. Petersburg courts in December from the user "Zakupilas' Nakhayakh". In traders' slang, "zakupit's' na khayakh" means to buy assets at the highest possible price ("khay" - from the English high, "high"). The saying has an obscene continuation, predicting losses for such a trader.
- Evacuations of government agencies due to bomb threats began in late November. The letters mentioned Tsargrad TV channel founder Konstantin Malofeev, who allegedly stole bitcoins from the Wex exchange.
