The founder and majority owner of a cryptocurrency exchange, Bitzlato Ltd., was arrested last night in Miami for his alleged operation of a money transmitting business that transported and transmitted illicit funds and that failed to meet U.S. regulatory safeguards, including anti-money laundering requirements. "The National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team's tremendous efforts to disrupt Bitzlato and arrest the defendant demonstrate that we will continue to work with our partners - both foreign and domestic - to combat cryptocurrency-fueled crimes, even if they transcend international borders." According to court documents, Legkodymov is a senior executive and the majority shareholder of Bitzlato, a Hong Kong-registered cryptocurrency exchange that operates globally. "As alleged, Bitzlato sold itself to criminals as a no-questions-asked cryptocurrency exchange, and reaped hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of deposits as a result. The defendant is now paying the price for the malign role that his company played in the cryptocurrency ecosystem." Bitzlato's largest counterparty in cryptocurrency transactions was Hydra Market, an anonymous, illicit online marketplace for narcotics, stolen financial information, fraudulent identification documents, and money laundering services that was the largest and longest running darknet market in the world. Hydra users exchanged more than $700 million in cryptocurrency with Bitzlato, either directly or through intermediaries, until Hydra was shuttered by U.S. and German law enforcement in April 2022. Legkodymov - who himself administered Bitzlato from Miami in 2022 and 2023 - received reports reflecting substantial traffic to Bitzlato's website from U.S.-based Internet Protocol addresses, including over 250 million such visits in July 2022.
