United States v. Aleksii Burkov, 15-cr-245

Overview

From approximately 2011-2013, Burkov, a national and resident of Russia, ran a website called Card Planet that sold stolen credit card information on a massive scale.  The U.S. Secret Service obtained a copy of the back-end server hosting Card Planet and determined that over 150,000 stolen credit card numbers were offered for sale on the site.  The numbers appear to have been issued by over 1300 banks.  Burkov was arrested while vacationing in Israel in 2015 and extradited to the United States in 2019.  The USSS was not able to seize any assets from Burkov and he is likely to be deported to Russia upon serving his sentence.
