It's equally interesting knowing the other prisoner who's swapped with Vinnik, an old man, a school teacher who's arrested in possession of a small amount of medically-prescribed marijuana. The math isn't mathing here. A Russian prisoner said to be in possession of almost $8 billion in Bitcoin, involved in big crimes, is swapped with an old teacher? And Trump calling the deal "very fair"?
Without meandering to areas that would be considered by many to be off-topic and only relevant to the Politics and Society board, the executive summary is that Trump wants to bring as many political prisoners home as possible. So nothing is off the table for him. No Russian criminal is too hardened for Trump to consider keeping in an American facility.
That being said, this particular man seems to be just an exchange hacker, so the prisoner swap isn't that unequal.
