Feds arrest Russian crypto operator on suspicion of criminal activities

Lisa Monaco, U.S. Deputy Attorney General: "Today, the Department of Justice has dealt a significant blow to the crypto crime ecosystem. Justice Department agents and prosecutors, working in partnership with the Treasury Department and French law enforcement, have disrupted Bitzlato, a China-based cryptocurrency exchange notorious for laundering criminal proceeds from the dark net. And last night, agents of the FBI arrested Bitzlato's founder, Anatoly Legkodymov."
