Techub News reports that, according to Crypto Briefing, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged a 49-year-old man linked to the dark web marketplace Dream Market with money laundering, accusing him of converting over $2 million worth of cryptocurrency into gold bars. The man was recently arrested in Germany and faces extradition to the United States for trial.


It is reported that Dream Market operated from 2013 to 2019 and was one of the most well-known dark web trading platforms in the past decade, primarily using Bitcoin for illegal transactions. Prosecutors allege that he used cryptocurrency to exchange for physical gold to evade exchange identity verification, achieving money laundering objectives. The case is currently under review.
