1/ Not sure how this space missed this but (Riccardo Spagni), the founder & lead maintainer of $XMR outed himself as an informant for Interpol after he was detained by U.S. Marshals pending extradition. Evidence strongly suggests he helped them track Monero.

2/ Ok, so first some background. Case #: 3:21-mj-04149
Apparently in 2011, Spagni's old employer (Cape Cookies) sought prosecution against him for allegedly fudging >$100k in fake invoices. Case dragged on for years until 2021 when South Africa requested extradition
3/
's counsel states he was afraid to travel & catch COVID19 + trial date was delayed to March 24th, 2021.
Curiously that didn't stop him & his wife from applying for a Visa & leaving South Africa on March 21st, 2021...just 3 days before his scheduled court date.
3a/ Spagni & his wife arrived in Bermuda March 22nd. Trial date is pushed to April 19th. Despite traveling from SA to Bermuda (unvaccinated) they were "afraid" to fly back when contacted a week later bc of COVID...yet 2 weeks later they flew 700+ miles from Bermuda to the U.S.
