Just saw that the DOJ seized more than 400 million in crypto linked to this darknet mixing service called Helix. The person who ran it, Larry Dean Harmon, pleaded guilty to money laundering in 2021 and was sentenced to 36 months in prison last November. That’s an insane amount—it shows how authorities are really tracking flows on the darknet now. Between 2014 and 2017, this service processed more than 300 million in crypto transactions. The judge finalized the confiscation in early January. It really makes you think about traceability after all, even on platforms that are supposed to be anonymous.
