US federal prosecutors charged two Eastern European men with running AudiA6, a crypto mixing service laundering nearly $400 million in bitcoin over five years. The scheme, tied to the dark web forum Dark2Web, helped criminals hide illicit funds from ransomware groups and darknet markets. Arrested in Georgia, the men face up to 20 years in prison as part of a global law enforcement crackdown involving multiple countries. Authorities seized assets and replaced criminal websites with seizure banners, aiming to disrupt international crypto crime networks.
