Apart from being a recidivist in the United States for crimes related to child sex trafficking, according to Interpol’s red notice, Russ is also an FBI fugitive for a Ponzi scheme cryptocurrency investment fraud. Russ Albert Medlin managed to collect US$722 million (Rp10.8 trillion).
Russ was arrested at his Indonesian residence on Monday, June 15, after police received a tip from neighbors over suspicious activities and frequent sites of underaged girls coming out of the house.
