Up to $1 Million Reward Offer for Information Leading to Arrest and/or Conviction of Russian National Tim Vakhaevich Stigal
The Department of State is announcing a reward offer under the Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program of up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction in any country of Tim Vakhaevich Stigal for participating in, conspiring to participate in, or attempting to participate in transnational organized crime.
According to the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), since 2011, Stigal has engaged in multiple significant computer intrusions targeting U.S. businesses, organizing the theft of payment card data, and monetizing this data for personal financial gain.
On January 17, 2024, the Department of Justice announced the unsealing of an indictment charging Stigal with allegedly participating in four separate conspiracies to traffic in stolen payment card information belonging to the customers of at least three different corporate victims located throughout the United States between April 2014 and March 2016. In relation to one of the conspiracies, and in an attempt to extort one of the corporate victims, Stigal allegedly transmitted a threat to impair the confidentiality of stolen personal data belonging to customers of the corporate victim if a ransom was not paid to Stigal. Stigal is charged with four counts of wire fraud conspiracy, 12 counts of wire fraud, one count of computer fraud extortion, three counts of access device fraud, and three counts of aggravated identity theft. The USSS subsequently added Stigal to the public USSS Most Wanted Fugitive page.
Today’s reward offer is authorized by the Secretary under the Department of State’s Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program, which supports law enforcement efforts to disrupt transnational crime globally and bring fugitives to justice. If you have information, please contact the USSS by email at [email protected]. If you are located outside of the United States, you may also visit the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. If you are in the United States, you can also contact the local USSS office in your city.
ALL IDENTITIES ARE KEPT STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Government officials and employees are not eligible for rewards.
