Watching this from Canada and as someone who's met some of these people, its crazy. Unfortunately due to the poor relationship between Canada and the US, and how much of a fool Patel is, Im extremely skeptical of anything the FBI is saying right now. This situation seems quite messy and I dont trust the US to sort this out properly. I fear Dubrovsky is just being used as political fodder.

this case keeps getting more complicated. first the arrest and now the legal dispute with his former business partner. the allegations on both sides are pretty serious but none of that proves a connection to shinyhunters. still waiting to see what the actual federal complaint reveals once more of it becomes public.
