Seleznev made tens of millions of dollars through his fraud. He collected payments via online payment systems including Bitcoin, Liberty Reserve and WebMoney. Because these payment systems were designed to protect user anonymity, law enforcement will never know how much money Seleznev collected in total.
However, one of these payment systems—Liberty Reserve—was seized by the government in connection with another criminal investigation. Liberty Reserve records show that Seleznev collected approximately $17 million in sales in approximately three years, 2010 – 2013, through this one payment system alone. Seleznev undoubtedly collected many millions more using Bitcoin and other currencies throughout his lengthy criminal career.
