The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has seized 145 internet domains and an undisclosed amount of cryptocurrency from an internet marketplace they allege facilitated the exchange of stolen credit cards, the agency announced on Wednesday. 

Known as BidenCash, the marketplace began in 2022, and attracted more than 117,000 customers, according to the DOJ. The platform’s administrators allegedly charged a fee on each transaction that took place on the website, generating over $17 million in its three years of operating, according to the agency.
