As per Coinotag, European authorities led by Europol have dismantled Cryptomixer, a crypto mixing service that laundered over $1.4 billion in Bitcoin since 2016. The operation, involving German and Swiss law enforcement, seized $27 million in BTC and 12 terabytes of data, disrupting ransomware groups and darknet markets that relied on the service for anonymizing illicit funds. The takedown, executed in Zurich, shut down servers and the domain cryptomixer.io, marking a major disruption to established crypto laundering pathways.
