Gox.<\/p>\n<p>Alexey Bilyuchenko, 43, and Aleksandr Verner, 29, allegedly gained unauthorized access in 2011 to a server holding wallets belonging to the exchange and continued to launder funds through 2017. At the time, Mt. Gox was the largest cryptocurrency exchange in existence, handling a majority of bitcoin transactions globally.<\/p>\n<p>The theft \u2014 valued at some $450 million \u2014 was the biggest ever suffered by the cryptocurrency industry at that point and led to <a href=\"http:\/\/nytimes.com\/2014\/02\/25\/business\/apparent-theft-at-mt-gox-shakes-bitcoin-world.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mt. Gox\u2019s bankruptcy in 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlexey Bilyuchenko and Aleksandr Verner thought they could outsmart the law by using sophisticated hacks to steal and launder massive amounts of cryptocurrency, a novel technology at the time, but the charges unsealed demonstrate our ability to tenaciously pursue these alleged criminals, no matter how complex their schemes, until they are brought to justice,\u201d Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As part of the money laundering scheme, prosecutors allege that Bilyuchenko and Verner entered into a fraudulent contract with a bitcoin brokerage service in the Southern District of New York to liquidate and transfer more than $6.6 million to overseas bank accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors allege that Bilyuchenko used proceeds from Mt. Gox to conspire with Russian national Alexander Vinnik to operate BTC-e, one of the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchanges and a key money laundering hub for cybercriminals. Vinnik <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/alexander-vinnik-us-russia-extradition-bitcoin\/\">was arrested in Greece in 2017<\/a> on a 21-count indictment related to BTC-e, which allegedly helped launder more than $4 billion in criminal proceeds. <\/p>\n<p>Between 2011 to 2017 BTC-e served more than one million users worldwide and received criminal proceeds of \u201cnumerous computer intrusions and hacking incidents, ransomware events, identity theft schemes, corrupt public officials, and narcotics distribution rings,\u201d according to the U.S. Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>Vinnik was extradited to the United States in August and has recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/alexander-vinnik-prisoner-swap-russia-evan-gershkovich-paul-whelan\/\">lobbied to be a part of a prisoner swap<\/a> between Russia and the United States that might include the imprisoned U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Northern District of California also charged Bilyuchenko with money laundering conspiracy and operating an unlicensed money services business that prosecutors allege was used to enable criminal activity, including ransomware attacks and malicious hacking. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBilyuchenko and his co-conspirators will learn that the Department of Justice has long arms and an even longer memory for crimes that harm our communities,\u201d Ismail J.
