I just now got an urgent email from Vladmimir Katalov, Elcom's Managing director. Here's the most important chunk:

As you probably know, yesterday (July 15th) we had "eBook Security: Theory and Practice" speech on DefCon 9 conference in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA). The main speaker was Mr. Dmitry Sklyarov, the author of "Advanced eBook Processor", an employee of our company (ElcomSoft).

Today, Dmitry had to return from Las Vegas to Moscow (through Los Angeles). However, he has been hold by FBI in the airport! Since then, we were not able to get any additional information (even through Russian consulate), except the fact that he was not boarded on the flight to Moscow (which was about 3 pm local time).

Now it is 6:30, but we still don't know anything -- where he is now, and what the actual problem is.

We will keep you informed!

(17 July 2001 0100 PDST) Vladimir Katalov has informed Planet eBook that Dmitry Sklyarov, author of the ³Advanced eBook Processor², was in fact arrested, and that he is being held in a Las Vegas prison waiting for subsequent judgement in California. The reason for the arrest has been cited as being the Advanced eBook Processor and his speech at DefCon 9. According to Vladimir, Dmitry's wife in Moscow received this information via an interpreter and has not yet been able to talk to her husband.
