On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced a $110 million fine against BTC-e for facilitating crimes like drug sales and ransomware attacks along with a separate $12 million fine against its owner, Alexander Vinnik.
BTC-e is headquartered in Russia and has long served as a forum where users can exchange traditional currencies for bitcoin or other digital monies like Ethereum or Dash.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department also filed a series of criminal charges, including conspiracy and money laundering, against Vinnik after snatching him up in Greece.
Upvoted and followed, thanks for the voice of sanity. I'm looking forward to it going back online, and then never keeping coins on an exchange and learning about the decentralized exchanges. Cheers!
It's a small problem
