Europol Dismantles Crypto Mixer Cryptomixer, Seizing €25M in Bitcoin and User Data

In a coordinated takedown, Europol and law enforcement partners in Germany and Switzerland dismantled the infamous bitcoin mixer platform Cryptomixer. The operation resulted in the seizure of approximately €25 million worth of bitcoin and over 12 terabytes of user data collected on the platform. This dismantling comes after years of allegations that Cryptomixer facilitated the laundering of criminal proceeds linked to a wide range of illicit activities, including ransomware, drug trafficking, and arms smuggling.
