Description
Europol Shuts Down Cryptomixer: A Major Victory Against Online CrimeEuropol, in collaboration with law enforcement agencies, has successfully shut down Cryptomixer, a prominent cryptocurrency laundering service. Since 2016, Cryptomixer helped launder over €1.3 billion ($1.5 billion) in Bitcoin, primarily from illegal activities like drug trafficking, ransomware attacks, and payment card fraud. The service, which mixed together various users funds to obscure their origin, was seized along with €25 million ($29 million) in Bitcoin, three servers, and twelve terabytes of data. This operation marks a significant win against online crime, following similar shutdowns of platforms like Tornado Cash and Chipmixer.
