The US Attorney's office has today frozen a Swiss bank account belonging to Sam Shaileshkumar.
Mr. Shaileskumar, together with Björn Sundin were the main figures behind Innovative Marketing Ukraine, a malware house that was operating from Ukraine. Neither Shaileshkumar or Sundin were nationals of Ukraine themselves. Shaileshkumar holds a US passport while Sundin is Swedish.
The amount of money in the frozen account? A cool $14,800,000. This is believed to be only part of the proceeds IMU did while using malware to push out rogue security products such as "Systemdoctor".
As usual, these products did nothing useful. They found "problems" from any computer and would only "fix" them after you purchased a license.
The authorities have been after Sundin and Shaileshkumar for quite a while. Both are still on the run.
Here's the INTERPOL Wanted page for them:
