U.S. authorities on Thursday charged Russian citizens Sergey Ivanov and Timur Shakhmametov with participating in a global network that used cryptocurrencies to launder money and evade sanctions. The U.S. State Department announced a $10 million reward for each for information leading to their arrest. U.S. authorities also seized websites associated with three illegal crypto exchanges, which were linked to Russia-related payment and trading platforms Cryptex net, UAPS, PinPays and PM2BTC.
