Fake passports, $65M US and an Interpol Red Notice: Canadian crypto fugitive vanishes after arrest in Serbia

As his flight departed from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport en route to Kuwait via Istanbul, Canadian crypto fugitive Andean Medjedovic was unaware that his globe-trotting lifestyle would soon be halted.

Just two weeks later, on Dec. 11, 2023, Dutch authorities issued a European arrest warrant for the then 21-year-old, alleging he had pulled off a “sophisticated hack” that netted him $48 million US in cryptocurrency.

… The fifth estate emailed Medjedovic to request a comment on the allegations against him.

He replied: “I have only one defence to the allegations: ‘I’m a racist.’ Please include that, that’s all, thanks.”

Another reason to avoid crypto.
