Crypto-Crime Mixer Busted: Europol Shakes Up €1.3 Billion Bitcoin Laundering Scheme!
Cryptomixer, a cryptocurrency mixer, has been shut down by Europol for aiding cybercrime. Known for its ability to transform your Bitcoin trail into something even Sherlock Holmes couldn’t follow, Cryptomixer allegedly laundered €1.3 billion. So, if your Bitcoin suddenly appeared squeaky clean, it might have had a brush with Cryptomixer!
