Bestmixer.io confiscated by Europol
The investigation, initiated by FIOD in June 2018 and supported by cybersecurity firm McAfee, led to the seizure of six servers in the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Are users of the service now being explored?
A mixer is a service offered to mix potentially identifiable or “corrupted” cryptocurrencies with others to anonymize the path to the original source.
The previous investigation of this case has shown that many of the mixed cryptocurrencies on Bestmixer.io had a criminal origin or destination. In these cases, the mixer was probably used to conceal and launder criminal cash flows.
The Dutch FIOD has collected information about all interactions on this platform. These include IP addresses, transaction details, bitcoin addresses and chat messages. This information will now be analyzed by FIOD in cooperation with Europol and shared with other countries.
