The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) is employing a new legal strategy to combat money laundering by charging offenders with 'a conspiracy to defraud FinCEN.' This approach was first applied in the case against crypto hackers Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. In related enforcement actions, a man who stole 120,000 bitcoins from Bitfinex in 2016 has been sentenced to five years in prison. Additionally, a Denver-area man received a five-year sentence for a $300 million telemarketing scheme. Another individual, sentenced to three years, was found guilty of laundering money for drug dealers and has handed over $400 million. A cryptocurrency mixer operator has also been sentenced to three years for laundering customers' bitcoin. In another case, a CFO from a Detroit nonprofit admitted to stealing at least $44 million over several years, spending the funds on luxury items. These developments reflect a broader crackdown by the DoJ on various forms of financial crime, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector.
