For crypto and Russia: Spy ring guilty of Ukraine espionage

The Russian spy ring monitored and sabotaged critical infrastructure for the invasion of Ukraine in exchange for crypto.

Top Ukraine official’s $1.5M in USDT, BTC seized in embezzlement probe

The former chief of Ukraine’s cyber security agency allegedly embezzled $1.7M in state funds and must hand over $1.5M in USDT and BTC.

Alongside rising rates of crypto crime, Ukraine has also lost $81 million in taxes in the past 10 years through unregulated crypto exchanges.

It’s alleged that the man committed treason by sending crypto to buy ammunition, medical equipment, drones, and infrared rifle scopes.

If the underground operation had overloaded the power grid, it could have caused huge disruption to vital frontline infrastructure.
