$90 Million Seized in Fraud Case Tied to BTC-e Exchange

Russian Alexander Vinnik faces charges of money laundering and defrauding individuals through the BTC-e cryptocurrency exchange. The money-laundering operation processed $4 billion in bitcoins over several years, authorities say. New Zealand Police seized $90 million from a company allegedly owned by accused cybercriminal. The Russian is suspected of involvement in the 2014 heist of more than $500 million from the now bankrupt Mt. Gox, a Tokyo-based digital currency exchange. Authorities say hackers stole 850,000 bitcoins, then worth about $480 million, as well as $28 million in cash.”]
