They're Russian state employees. If they are indicted, they will be tried in absentia, convicted, and sentenced without having set foot in a courtroom. At that point, they'll never to be able to travel to a friendly (to us) Western country without being arrested and extradited to the US. So, they just have to stay in St. Petersburg with all their fellow hackers, but won't be able to have bank accounts or travel outside the country.
