Russian Anti-Piracy Chief Arrested in ‘Fraud’ Investigation

[HardOCP News]

In this guy's defense, what did you expect? He was the anti-piracy chief, not the anti-fraud chief.

Russian authorities have reportedly arrested Maxim Ryabyko, the head of one of the leading anti-piracy agencies. Several sources suggest that he offered to help drop a criminal investigation against an Internet entrepreneur with alleged connections to the pirate site Lib.rus.ec, in exchange for 50 million rubles.

Corruption is only OK if you use Babushka℠ brand Putin approved corruption. All other corruption is bad for mother Russia.

Are there any uncorrupted people in American politics?

Right? At least they arrest their corrupt people. Here, we give them immunity and help them destroy their laptops.

That's what I was thinking but I am really not in the mood for whataboutism. Saying politicians are corrupt is like saying water is wet.

At least their politicians don't go off on twitter rants at 3am.

The whole Russia is the mother of corruption. All these accusations have political motivation behind them.

In Mother Russia, anti-piracy chief corrupts you!

At least he didn't take money from Comcast to ensure low data caps are classified as reasonable network management.

Neither do ours.

They do nothing at 3am.
