Since its foundation in mid -2017, “Chipmixer” has been known to accept Bitcoin illegal origin and to pay them to be paid for after veiling processes. An estimated 154,000 Bitcoin with a total value of around 2.8 billion euros were washed. A significant part of the funds comes from transactions of Darknet marketplaces, fraudulent crypto values and criminal acts such as ransomware attacks.
Cooperation between international authorities
