Microsoft Engineer Charged in Reveton Ransomware Case

Raymond Uadiale, 41, a naturalized US citizen of Nigerian descent, is accused of helping launder money from victims of the Reveton ransomware. He allegedly worked with a UK citizen going online by the moniker K!NG, who distributed and infected victims with the ransomware. Prosecutors say he transferred more than $130,000 to his UK partner, taking 30% of the proceeds. Authorities from 18 countries seized and shut down Liberty Reserve servers in May 2013, which contained details on almost $6 billion of money laundering operations.
