Frankfurt am Main's Attorney General's Office - the Central Office for Combating Internet Crime (ZIT) - and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) seized today, Wednesday, the server infrastructure of the "ChipMixer" cryptomixer located in Germany, which has the highest turnover in the darknet. In addition to about 7 terabytes of data, the equivalent of about 44 million euros worth of bitcoin was seized, the largest seizure of BKA cryptoassets to date.

ChipMixer operators are suspected of, among other things, engaging in commercial money laundering and a criminal online trading platform. The BKA investigation worked closely with the U.S. Department of Justice (US DoJ), the Philadelphia Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Phoenix Homeland Security Investigative Service, and Europol.

ChipMixer was a service that had existed since mid-2017 that, among other things, accepted bitcoins of criminal origin in order to pay them out again after masking processes (known as "blending"). In this process, the deposited cryptocurrencies were divided into homogeneous small amounts, called "chips," in order to thwart investigations. The users' "chips" were then mixed together, thus hiding the origin of the money. "ChipMixer" promised its users complete anonymity.

It is estimated that since 2017, "ChipMixer" has laundered about 154,000 bitcoins, or 2.8 billion euros, in crypto-assets. Much of this money came from darknet markets, fraudulently obtained crypto-assets, extortion groups and other criminal activities. Among other things, the investigation is considering the suspicion that some of the crypto-assets stolen in connection with the bankruptcy of a major crypto-exchange in 2022 were laundered through ChipMixer. In addition, millions of transactions from the darknet platform Hydra Market, which was shut down in April 2022 by ZIT and BKA, could be proven. Similarly, ransomware execs such as Zeppelin, SunCrypt, Mamba, Dharma or Lockbit used the service to launder money.

A confiscation banner was published on the Tor service's website.

In addition, the FBI issued a wanted notice for the alleged prime defendant in the case in the U.S. and offered a reward for additional information relevant to the investigation through the U.S. Justice Department's Rewards for Justice program.

The renewed success in the fight against cybercrime is the result of innovative strategies against the global cybercrime industry. After all, money laundering services are regularly an important component of extortion through ransomware attacks. Therefore, it is the goal of the BKA and ZIT to use the knowledge gained in the case against "ChipMixer" to advance the investigation of further cybercrimes and prevent the use of German infrastructures for criminal purposes using funds from illegal activities.

This is so broken. When you read the arrest report, they struggled to find who it was and had so many false trails going all over until the dude made a payment with his real identity using paypal for servers that were known to host ChipMixer onion sites. A $150 expense is what closed that entire operation, and with 7TB of historical transactions captured, I bet we are going to see a lot of other crimes being caught up with...

Watch your OpSec people - they confirmed they were interested in this guy with Google search histories from 2018 where he was looking for how to get fake ID's and social security numbers...

cubesquareThat is a crazy small mistake for such a horrendous consequence, what a pitty to stumble over such an obvious mistake.
Do you have a link where I can read more about the statement behind his Google search history?

Gordon RamsayThe justice.gov link is where you get to it from. THIS IS CLEARNET

On that page is a complaint.pdf - the detail is in there (direct link here: https://www.justice.gov/d9/press-releases/attachments/2023/03/15/filed_complaint_0.pdf)

From page 35:
59. Search warrant returns from Google for [email protected] revealed
searches by NGUYEN for ways to buy personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security Numbers (SSN) and date of birth (DOB) records as well as generators that provide randomized PII. For example, the following Google searches were conducted:
a. March 18, 2018: “where to search for ssn free by name”
b. November 19, 2019: “selling ssn dob”
c. July 11, 2022: “ssn dob shop”
d. October 12, 2022: “ssn number generator”
