Binance named as the top handler of bitcoin from crypto exchange charged in $700 million drug-dealer darkweb bust
from a little-known crypto platform shut down by US authorities, who say it laundered $700 million worth of criminals' ill-gotten gains.
"Approximately two-thirds of Bitzlato's top receiving and sending counterparties are associated with darknet markets or scams," FinCEN, a Treasury Department unit, said in anRussian darkweb marketplace Hydra and a Russia-based alleged crypto Ponzi scheme called"TheFiniko" were the other top handlers of Bitzlato's bitcoin, according to the filing.
The Justice Department described Bitzlato as a"China-based money-laundering engine that fueled a high-tech axis of cryptocrime," in a press conference Wednesday. "Bitzlato was particularly active in facilitating illicit activity, but it is ultimately part of a larger, larger ecosystem of cyber criminals that are allowed to operate with impunity within Russia," he said.
