Not sure what you're suggesting. Also, you DID note the bit about Kelihos?

You DO know that the FBI routinely arrests people to coerce them for information unrelated to charge at hand?

MWT was already providing them with info before arrest. Are you implying that he was involved in Kelihos somehow or what?

I'm suggesting that looking at "WannaCry sinkhole" w/stuff they had on MWT is different than "Kronos" w/stuff they had on him.

So is the theory that he was involved with WannaCry? Or that when they looked him up then, they found something Kronos-related?

No. One possibility: 1) They look at stuff to see IF he is involved. 2) IN THAT CONTEXT they see Kronos + Kelihos.

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?

Govt alleges he was involved in Kronos. Govt states Kronos = Kelihos. MWT has a very large TOTALLY INNOCENT Kelihos footprint.
