The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has charged Ruslan Igorevich Tkachuk and Alexander Vladimirovich Ledenev with operating a cryptocurrency money laundering service named "AudiA6." The service allegedly processed over 10,333 bitcoins, valued at approximately $389 million, from illicit sources since 2021. The defendants, residing in Batumi, Georgia, were arrested on June 11 and face charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and money laundering. The arrests were part of a coordinated operation involving the U.S. Secret Service, IRS Criminal Investigation Division, Europol, and law enforcement from multiple countries. Authorities seized related servers, domain names, and encrypted assets, and replaced the AudiA6 website with law enforcement notices. The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking extradition of the defendants, who face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
