Feds Freeze $530M Crypto Laundering Scheme—Russian Tycoon Collared
US authorities just slammed the gavel on a half-billion-dollar crypto hustle—turns out even oligarchs can''t outrun blockchain forensics.
The takedown:
A high-profile Russian financier got nabbed running what looks like a nine-figure money car wash through decentralized networks. Guess those ''privacy coins'' weren''t so private after all.
The irony:
This bust drops the same week Wall Street banks got fined peanuts for routine fiat laundering. Priorities, right?
