Reiber and Davydov were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud over Oxygen Forensics ownership.

A federal conspiracy-to-commit-wire-fraud charge is an accusation. It is not a conviction. On Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, Reiber, 55, CEO of Alexandria, Virginia-based Oxygen Forensics, was arrested in Idaho and released on bond; Davydov, 52, a Russian national and company co-founder, was arrested at London Heathrow as he prepared to board a flight to Istanbul. The Justice Department says both face up to 20 years if convicted. Exposure is not a sentence, and an arrest is not a finding of guilt.

Prosecutors allege Davydov and other Russian nationals owned and controlled Oxygen Forensics through a Cyprus holding company while the firm held itself out to U.S. government customers as an independent U.S.-based company. After expanded Russia sanctions in early 2022, the complaint says, the Russian owners were removed from public corporate filings and Reiber was installed as CEO, president, and chairman in March 2022.

The Justice Department says the company's software did not contain malicious code or gain unauthorized access to customer systems. The allegation is about hiding true ownership and Russia-based development from agencies that bought the product, including contracts reported with the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense. Those are charging claims. They are not proven facts.

On Sept. 19, 2026, a federal magistrate in the Central District of California ordered seizure of company bank accounts, 57 domains, and related infrastructure, according to DOJ reporting. Both men are expected to appear in Los Angeles federal court in the coming weeks; the U.S. is seeking Davydov's extradition. A scheduled appearance is calendar. It is not a verdict. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
