U.S. and German authorities seized the Cryptonator domain and indicted its operator, Roman Boss, alleging the wallet processed over $235 million in illicit funds between 2014–2023. The DOJ complaint claims Cryptonator lacked adequate KYC/AML controls and facilitated transactions with darknet markets, ransomware groups, mixers, scams, hacked funds, high-risk exchanges, and sanctioned addresses; prosecutors seek money-laundering penalties, injunctions, asset seizures, and other relief.
