Local media reported on Wednesday that Vinnik's extradition summons will now be sent to Russia to face fraud charges of a relatively modest 667,000 rubles ($ 11,500).
In addition, a Russian citizen faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 55 years, if the authorities convict him under U.S law.
Appealing to Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview last month, it now seems that Russia will have the final say in his fate.
