Before Western sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine invasion began in February 2022, U.S. authorities were cracking down on the Russian crypto scene. Since the beginning of the new sanctions in 2022, the American approach against the Russian crypto scene, which is under general suspicion of money laundering and sanctions violations, has intensified and is bringing charges against Russian crypto schemes and their masterminds.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has revealed charges linked to the collapsed crypto exchanges Mt. Gox and BTC-e. Two Russian nationals, Alexey Bilyuchenko (43) and Aleksandr Verner (29), are accused of conspiring to launder approximately 647,000 bitcoins obtained through a Mt. Gox hack. Bilyuchenko is additionally charged with conspiring with Alexander Vinnik to run the laundromat BTC-e between 2011 and 2017.
