FBI Disrupts Russian Operator E-Note Laundering Network
The FBI has seized domains and servers linked to E-Note, a cryptocurrency laundering service allegedly tied to Russian operators. Authorities traced over $70 million in illicit funds connected to ransomware attacks and cybercrime, marking a significant crackdown on digital asset-related financial crimes.
E-Note's infrastructure, including key domains and server data, was dismantled in a coordinated international operation. The platform reportedly facilitated cross-border movement of crypto into traditional currencies for criminal networks targeting U.S. healthcare systems and critical infrastructure.
This enforcement action follows recent $42 million crypto fraud charges, signaling heightened regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrency transactions. The seizure includes historical server data that may reveal additional money laundering pathways in the digital asset ecosystem.
