From the article, they aren't necessarily being charged with the hack itself



So they where hired to launder the money? Wouldn't the FBI try to make a deal to catch the people who executed the hack?


Just saying in the article that's what they're being legally charged for, and that already comes with hefty maximum sentences.

They are clearly associated with the hack, but that can be tacked on after further investigation and cross-examination. The money laundering is an easier opening target.
