The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the USA has officially shut down the cryptocurrency exchange E-Note, owned by a citizen of the Russian Federation. The platform is accused of money laundering obtained through criminal means and facilitating circumvention of international sanctions. This operation has become part of a large-scale strategy by the USA to restrict illegal financial flows passing through unregulated cryptocurrency platforms.
The investigation found that E-Note had long ignored KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) rules. This allowed cybercriminals, hackers, and sanctioned individuals to convert assets and hide their origins without obstruction. The seizure of servers and the blocking of the exchange's domains dealt a significant blow to the infrastructure that served the shadow sector of the crypto market.
This incident once again underscores that anonymity in the realm of digital assets is becoming increasingly illusory under the pressure of global regulators. For investors, this is a signal to choose only verified and licensed platforms, as law enforcement continues to strengthen compliance oversight regardless of the jurisdiction of service owners.
