🚔 IN BATUMI, A CRYPTO LAUNDRY WAS BUSTED FOR $389 MILLION — AND 173 CARS ON TOP OF THAT
A joint operation by Europol, IRS, Secret Service, and Georgian law enforcement. They nabbed two right in Batumi: a Russian named Ledenyev (25 years old) and a Ukrainian named Tkachuk (37 years old). Each faces up to 20 years, and the DOJ is already pushing for extradition.
A classic mixer on an industrial scale — dirty #BTC from ransomware and the dark web flowed in, while clean cash flowed out. Fees were 3–10%. Since 2022, the service has processed 10,333 BTC worth $389.7 million. They were also running the #Dark2Web forum to coordinate cyberattacks worldwide.
Seized: servers, crypto worth $796k, real estate, bank accounts, and 173 vehicles.
173 cars — not a typo. But it was the blockchain that unraveled everything — transactions didn’t disappear, analysts just patiently built the chart. Crypto is anonymous until someone starts digging seriously.
