A Bitcoin transaction mixer website is seized by the Dutch Financial Criminal Investigative Service. This occurred during a crackdown which involved the Europol and other authorities.
This is the “first law enforcement action of its kind against such a cryptocurrency mixer service,” according to Europol statement. The police have seized six servers which are based in Luxembourg and Netherlands.
The Best mixer has advertised their money laundering services, and they have falsely claimed to be domiciled in Curacao. They claimed it was a legal service there.
