The cybersecurity scam targeted well-known American companies like Skechers, Snapchat and Roku.
As Vladislav Klyushin's cybersecurity scam grew, collecting more than $93 million in less than three years, the FBI's investigation was closing in on unraveling his scheme.
CNBC's new original podcast series "The Crimes of Putin's Trader" takes you inside the mission to put Klyushin behind bars.
The third episode of the podcast details how Klyushin made a critical mistake, finally opening the door for U.S. law enforcement to step in.
The latest episode of the original podcast series takes listeners through the action – right up to when Klyushin steps off the plane in Switzerland, completely unaware of his catastrophic mistake.
