I don't completely buy the fact that he was arrested because he didn't cooperate with authorities. World Police forces have an history of infiltrating criminal groups and gaining their trust; planting backdoors isn't the only way they can investigate people. Also, this way they're yelling loud to these people "hurry! pick another platform!".

And then, he is also on Putin's wanted list; his arrest could one day turn him into a valuable bargaining chip.
