$390 Million AudiA6 Crypto Laundering Ring Crashed by Global Law Enforcement

An international law enforcement operation has dismantled AudiA6, a massive cryptocurrency laundering service used by ransomware gangs and cybercriminal networks.

The takedown, led by the US Secret Service, involved authorities from 11 countries and resulted in the arrest of two individuals responsible for processing nearly $390 million (€336 million) in illicit funds between 2022 and 2025.

AudiA6 charged commissions ranging from 3% to 10% to obscure the origins of criminal proceeds, and customers reportedly received cleaned cryptocurrency within an hour.

Investigators linked the network to more than 15 international investigations involving ransomware attacks and major cryptocurrency thefts.

The operation also seized over $389 million in Bitcoin (BTC), frozen €692,000 in cryptocurrency, confiscated additional digital assets valued at over €86,000, and seized 80 vehicles along with multiple properties in Georgia.
