There seems to be a lot of confusion about this arrest. In fact, Dmitry was not arrested for administering a Tor exit node. Prosecutors claim he _himself_ posted inciting content using an alias. Which was posted from his own IP and also from all over the world (according to the prosecution, this was done to hide his identity). Posted while Dmitry was in the mall (which apparently can be proven by mall's video surveillance). And there was a Tor exit node so anybody could've used his IP. I don't think this is going to trial with these charges.
