Naskovetz was arrested in the Czech Republic in April 2010 and extradited to the U.S. later that year. He faces a maximum sentence of nearly 38 years in prison on wire and credit card fraud charges, and is set to be sentenced on May 26. He entered his plea Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
