An international law enforcement operation among 11 countries has shut down AudiA6, a money laundering ring that processed over $390 million in illicit funds between 2022 and 2025.
Last week, authorities arrested two administrators, Russian and Ukrainian nationals, in Georgia, seized 25 domains and more than 30 servers and 80 vehicles and froze roughly $900,000 in cryptocurrency, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) said.
The AudiA6 “mixer-as-a-service” was used by cybercriminals involved in ransomware attacks to cash out stolen crypto and conceal the movement of illicit funds from authorities by offering to “clean” crypto within about an hour for a 3% to 10% commission.
Since 2021, AudiA6 wallets received approximately 10,333 BTC, valued at around $389 million at the time the transactions occurred, Chainalysis reported.
$389 million. 11 countries.
