Igor Runets, founder of BitRiver, Russia's largest crypto mining company, has been charged with large-scale fraud involving nearly 1 billion rubles (around $12.5 million). He is accused of accepting full advance payment for mining equipment ordered by an En+ subsidiary but failing to deliver the machines or return the funds. A Moscow court has changed his measure of restraint from house arrest to detention for two months.
