description: "Alimzhan Tursunovich Tokhtakhounov is a Russian businessman, suspected criminal, and former sportsman. He is accused in relations with organized crime and bribing of figure skating judges in the 2002 Winter Olympics. His nickname is thought to be \"Taiwanchik\", which refers to his distinctly Asiatic, as opposed to European, facial features. He has been wanted by the FBI since 2013 for a sophisticated money laundering scheme. As of 2022 he hides in Russia. The United States Department of State listed him as wanted and offered reward for up to $4 million for information leading to his arrest or conviction."
