Sure. 2 points; I subjectively view this crine as much less admirable than a simple bank robbery or Ross ulbricht (less the alleged murder attempts) as this causes individuals direct harm. This is subjective, I think others may agree that identity theft is pretty malicious.

Also, yes Russia could kidnap you if you committed enough crimes for them to dub you worth tracking, capturing, negotiating a diplomatic extradition and then trying in court. Its not likely many "regular" people will be carted away from a Bahamian Vaca.
