This reads less like “hacking” and more like an optimized business.

Clear specialization, outsourcing, and reinvestment — very similar to how startups scale.

Found his record in Russia's official company registry. This is what he officially does as an entepreneur:

  56.10 — Restaurant activities and food delivery services

  47.23 — Retail sale of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks in specialized stores

  47.25.12 — Retail sale of beer in specialized stores

  47.25.2 — Retail sale of soft drinks in specialized stores

  47.29.39 — Retail sale of other food products in specialized stores, not included in other groups

  68.20 — Lease and management of own or leased real estate
Money is reinvested into selling beer and fish :) Interestingly, he registered all that in 2019, just when the ransoms started.

Go look at the al Qaeda emails recovered from the raid that killed bin Laden and you'll find all the same stuff. Turns out that the way businesses operate is just a good way to operate human organizations in general, whether their goal is to sell widgets or blow up infidels.
