CardPlanet Operator Pleads Guilty in Federal Court

Russian national faced multiple charges in connection with operating the marketplace for stolen credit-card credentials, and a forum for VIP criminals to offer their services.

Aleksei Burkov was arrested in Israel in 2015 and extradited to the US in 2019. At the time of his extradition, stolen credit card
