In furtherance of his LockBit-related activities, Astamirov owned, controlled, and used a variety of email addresses, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, and other online provider accounts that allowed him and his co-conspirators to deploy LockBit ransomware and to communicate with their victims. Additionally, in at least one circumstance, law enforcement was able to trace a portion of a victim’s ransom payment to a virtual currency address in Astamirov’s control.

Из текста становится понятно, что Астамиров скорее всего был пользователем партнёрки LockBit. Собственно, такую мысль выражают и сами LockBit в своем аккаунте.
