Global Law Enforcement Dismantles ‘AudiA6’ Crypto Laundering Network Linked to Ransomware Gangs

An international law enforcement operation dismantled AudiA6, a large “mixer-as-a-service” used by ransomware groups and other cybercriminals, and seized its associated Dark2Web forum and infrastructure. Chainalysis and authorities attribute roughly 10,333 BTC (~$389M historically) through AudiA6 since 2021, which relied on an industrial-scale laundering method using over 6,000 KYC-verified money mule accounts to rapidly layer stolen funds through centralized exchanges; two alleged administrators were arrested in Georgia and sites were replaced with seizure banners.
