US federal prosecutors are gearing up to charge two Russian men accused of running billion-dollar money-laundering services and to seize websites associated with illicit crypto exchanges. This move is part of a significant crackdown on Russian cybercrime, as reported by multiple sources familiar with the matter.
One of the accused individuals is identified as one of the most enduring professional money-launderers known to US law enforcement. Both men are currently not in US custody, and the State Department has announced a reward of $10 million for any information that leads to their arrest or conviction. Additionally, the Treasury Department is expected to impose sanctions on at least one of the men.
