Japanese authorities arrested a gang of 18 fraudsters by analyzing Monero transactions. This was recorded as the first such incident in crypto history. Approximately 900 Monero (XMR)-based money laundering transactions were investigated, which resulted in a loss of 100 million yen ($670,000). All members of the gang, including Yuta Kobayashi, who was thought to be the leader, were arrested. The operation was carried out by the Cyber ââSpecial Investigation Unit of the National Police Agency, which was established in April. What do you think about the matter? We are waiting for your comments.
