Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Jeff Stone's magazine-length feature about cybercrime lawyer Arkady Bukh was one of the most ambitious projects in the history of CyberScoop, requiring months of reporting, fact-checking, writing and editing. In presenting that work on the web, the designers and editorial team worked closely to choose elements that portrayed Bukh's life in a Russian-speaking enclave in Brooklyn while emphasizing his deep connections to the old Soviet Union. A striking "hero" image, well-timed subheadings, a special layout and strong photography help round out Bukh's story, which includes defending some of the world's most notorious criminal hackers. The goal was to build a case about Bukh's appeal to those defendants — and the work's appeal to him. As the design for the "drop caps" suggests, the more you scratch away at his story, the bigger it gets.
