Congratulations to our law enforcement and private sector customers and partners around the world on the successful takedown of the "AudiA6" cryptocurrency laundering network and the Dark2Web cybercrime forum. AudiA6 acted as a mixer-as-a-service for the cybercriminal underground, processing nearly $389 million in Bitcoin. By leveraging over 6,000 KYC-verified money mule accounts, the network washed stolen digital assets through centralized exchanges. This coordinated international strike, which included the arrest of two key administrators, severely degrades a primary financial pipeline for global ransomware gangs.

🚀 The momentum continues. We’re proud to have once again supported the 🇸🇬 Singapore Police Force in a second joint anti-scam operation — this time, preventing more than $4.2 million in potential losses and reaching over 145 scam victims in just six weeks. Building on the success of the first operation, the SPF’s Anti-Scam Centre and Cyber Investigation Branch partnered with an expanded group of cryptocurrency exchanges — Coinbase, Coinhako, Gemini, Independent Reserve SG, OKX, StraitsX, and Upbit Singapore — to detect and intervene before victims lost more. Our blockchain analysis tools helped officers rapidly trace funds and identify victims across various types of scams. 📈 From $2.86M to the addition of $4.2M protected. From 90+ to 145+ victims reached. The results speak for themselves: when public-private partnerships are sustained and scaled, impact grows. 👏 Congratulations to the Singapore Police Force and all partners involved.
