$390 Million Crypto Laundering Ring Disrupted by International Law Enforcement

AudiA6, a massive cryptocurrency laundering network linked to ransomware gangs, has been dismantled by authorities in an international operation involving 11 countries.

The network processed around $390 million in illicit funds since its inception in 2021 and was particularly active between 2021 and 2025. It used over 6,000 fake KYC-verified accounts to move dirty funds through legitimate crypto exchanges.

Two administrators, a Ukrainian national and a Russian national, were arrested in Georgia. The US Department of Justice is seeking their extradition. The operation also took down Dark2Web, a darknet forum tied to the same criminal group.
