Another major law enforcement case. U.S. federal prosecutors, in cooperation with international law enforcement agencies, successfully seized the notorious online platform E-Note, which has been used for a long time for cryptocurrency money laundering activities.

It is reported that 39-year-old Russian suspect Mykhalio Petrovich Chudnovets faces criminal charges. Prosecutors' investigation shows that since 2017, this platform has continuously transferred illegal funds through its own trading system and a global network of "money mules," involving over $70 million.

This case once again warns us that although the cryptocurrency ecosystem is booming, the high-pressure stance on anti-money laundering regulation has never relaxed. International law enforcement agencies are increasingly capable of tracking cross-border fund flows, and any attempt to use crypto services for illegal financial activities will ultimately be caught. For legitimate exchanges and platforms, strengthening KYC (Know Your Customer) systems and anti-money laundering measures has become a matter of life and death.

Here it comes again, this time it's E-Note. I said it, this kind of RATS hole will eventually be investigated. 70 million USD, this scale really can't hold up. I see, there are still more to come, those who are greedy won't escape.

$70 million, this is quite a big move, no wonder the outcome was so disastrous. --- It's money laundering again. How come this Russian guy just can't get it together... --- KYC is really ramping up. It seems like compliance days are getting harder and harder to survive. --- Is international tracking this intense? Feels like there's nowhere to hide anymore. --- The money mule network's tricks are so old, yet they still got caught. LOL. --- I just want to know why it takes 7 years to catch them. The regulatory response speed is a bit slow. --- The official forces are becoming more and more powerful. The survival space in the gray areas is really shrinking. --- This case is so big, there must be more scandals behind it...

70 million USD is gone just like that, the Money Mule Network is really outrageous --- Here comes another one, when will it finally settle down --- Compliance is truly the way out, otherwise it will only be doomed to fail --- International law enforcement is so tough, money laundering will be even harder in the future --- The Russians are in trouble again, outrageous --- KYC is not an option, it’s a must now --- Tracking capabilities are getting stronger and stronger, this is good news, right? --- Looks like I have to trade honestly, the risk is too high --- 70 million, how many things can this amount of money do --- The正规军 (regular army) is still more reliable, small platforms are really worrying

70 million dollars just gone like that, really bold But to be honest, in this day and age, trying to launder money with this method? Regulations are everywhere Official exchanges actually have a more stable life; compliance is the way to go They've caught another one, but how many more are there... How come this Russian guy never thought of it, what is he doing KYC stuff is indeed annoying, but being inside is even more annoying

Here we go again, catching people every day? What's the point of the transaction income? --- 70 million USD, how long will this case take to resolve? --- Alright, the regular troops can once again enjoy good food and drinks --- Amazing, laundering money for seven years? Cybersecurity is really weak --- KYC procedures should have been tightened long ago to prevent platforms from becoming like abandoned buildings and harming everyone --- Russia is back again, is this standard? --- But on the other hand, strict law enforcement is also a good thing --- 70 million? Feels like a underestimate, where would dirty money be this amount
