From some googling:

"..FBI’s most wanted list of cybercriminals: Russian hacker Evgeniy Bogachev. Bogachev, the authorities believe, was responsible for operating both viruses... GameOver Zeus and CryptoLocker" http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2014/06/...

"still appears to be at large in Russia, where officials have shown little interest in helping the FBI"..."What a talented guy," said Mikhail, 23, who recognised Bogachev's FBI photo as the man he would see in the lobby with his wife and nine-year-old daughter. "Sitting at his computer at home, he broke into our enemies' camp, but did not harm his fellow Russians." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/1088...

"His alleged bank heists topped $100 million"..."Bogachev, 30, who lives luxuriously in Anapa, Russia, a beautiful seaside resort town of 60,000 on the northern coast of the Black Sea, and often sails his yacht to various Black Sea ports, remains a fugitive." http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/03/fbi-bus...

Guess the authorities can't find him because yachts are pretty tricky to spot.
