Aug 2016: No interest in arrested MWT bc Kronos is unimportant. May 2017: A back door search makes MWT--but not Kronos--look very different.
3) Kronos + Kelihos (RU criminal hackers tied to some other shit) + WannaCry looks vastly different that Kronos AlphaBay purchase

That said, I also point out that they may be interested in him for stuff that's not in the indictment at all, but which came up.
-
So, you think he was involved in one of these (Kronos, Kelihos, WannaCry, something else), and it came up when they looked him up?
-
And that it was substantial enough for them to believe they can win a court case?
-
I think they may have miscalculated, honestly. I think the Kronos case may be fragile (but possible superseding might not be).
-
But what normally happens for someone in MWT's position is 1) they're denied bail 2) they don't get superb attorneys. That changes things.
-
Or, at the very least, they're denied their ability to access computers and make a living. That's why 98% of US cases end in plea agreements
-
In any case, what I tried to do was explain that FBI is not saying "Kronos thus arrest." They're saying "MWT WannaCry guy=online footprint"

OK, you don't have anything new, you don't have a sound theory, you don't know any more than us. I've wasted my time reading this article.
