Do you have a link and paragraph number for this quote? I searched in the press release [0] and OCR'd the indictment [1] and can't find any match to any part of that quote ("VPN", "writing", or "instructions"). I also can't find any match for that quote anywhere on Google.

As if the modus oparendi of sketchy crypto sites wasn't shouting off the rooftops "You can't use this site cause we detected a US IP we don't do business with US citizens. BTW, here's how to use a VPN!"
