Close Cybercrime Russian authorities arrest nearly 100 in raids tied to cybercriminal money laundering The Russian operation comes less than a week after the U.S. government unsealed indictments and sanctions against two men allegedly connected to the UAPS system By AJ Vicens
Russian authorities announced Wednesday the arrests of nearly 100 people related to the UAPS payment system and Cryptex cryptocurrency exchanges in an investigation into cybercrime-related money laundering.
