In the other, he is "gunz"—an alleged member of one of the most destructive cybercriminal syndicates in history, responsible for millions in losses and attacks on critical infrastructure. Whether he is a genius capable of running an international corporation while orchestrating malware attacks from his home in Nizhny Novgorod, or a young man whose legal business is a front for a life of cybercrime, only time will tell.
