https://t.me/antidarknetnews/30U.S. and German law enforcement seized the domain of the crypto wallet platform Cryptonator, used by ransomware gangs, darknet marketplaces, and other illicit services, and indicted its operator.
The alleged Cryptonator's operator, Roman Boss, has been charged with money laundering and running an unlicensed money service business operation.
Cryptonator is an online cryptocurrency wallet launched in 2014 that allows users to store crypto and exchange between other cryptocurrencies within their personal wallet.
Blockchain investigation firm TRM reports that Cryptonator failed to implement anti-money laundering controls, enabling anonymous or pseudonymous users to use the service, including for illicit activity.
The Cryptonator project's primary domain at "cryptonator.com" has now been seized
Inspiring work with international cooperation we can only hope more illegal services are taken down. In the process people get a cleaner and more legitimate cryptocurrency sphere boosting growth in economies worldwide.
