Scary Russian business-man insists he isn't scary: "you are in no possible danger of being murdered if you come toMoscow!"
Brian Krebs reports on the Russian arrest of Pavel Vrublevsky, owner of the ChronoPay service (about whom Krebs has written an upcoming book) for witness intimidation. Vrublevsky is on trial for hiring hackers to attack a ChronoPay competitor called Assist, and he admitted that he phoned a witness in the trial and offered that person money; the witness said "he felt pressured and threatened by the offer." Where this gets good is where Krebs recounts his own conversation with Vrublevsky, when the Russian businessman offered Krebs money as well:My proposition to you is to come to Moscow, and if you dont have money.I realize journalists are not such wealthy people in America, were happy to pay for it, Vrublevsky said in a phone conversation on May 8, 2010.
