德國執法部門從Exch中奪取了34000000歐元（3800萬美元）的加密貨幣

該扣押是由德國聯邦刑事警察局（BKA）和法蘭克福的主要檢察官辦公室宣布的，涉及多個加密資產，包括比特幣（BTC），Ether（Ether（ETH），ETH），Litecoin（Litecoin（LTC）和DASH（DASH））。

German law enforcement has seized 34 million euros ($38 million) in cryptocurrency from eXch, a cryptocurrency platform allegedly used to launder stolen funds during Bybit’s record-breaking $1.4 billion hack.

德國執法部門已從據稱在拜比特（Bybit）創紀錄的14億美元黑客攻擊期間，據稱是一個加密貨幣平台扣押了3400萬歐元（3,800萬美元）的加密貨幣。

The seizure, announced on May 9 by Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and Frankfurt’s main prosecutor’s office, involved multiple crypto assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Dash (DASH). The move marks the third-largest crypto confiscation in the BKA’s history.

該扣押是由德國聯邦刑事警察局（BKA）和法蘭克福的主要檢察官辦公室宣布的，涉及多個加密資產，包括比特幣（BTC），Ether（Ether（ETH），ETH），Litecoin（Litecoin（LTC）和DASH（DASH））。此舉標誌著BKA歷史上第三大加密貨幣。

The authorities also seized eXch’s German server infrastructure with extensive over eight terabytes of data and shut down the platform, the announcement added.

該公告補充說，當局還抓住了超過八個數據的數據，並關閉了平台。

eXch exchanged crypto without AML

不帶AML交換加密貨幣

In the statement, the BKA described eXch as a “swapping” service that allowed users to exchange various crypto assets without implementing Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures.

在聲明中，BKA將Exch描述為“交換”服務，允許用戶在不實施反洗錢（AML）措施的情況下交換各種加密資產。

The platform operated since 2014 and reportedly facilitated an estimated $1.9 billion in crypto transfers, some of which are believed to be of “criminal origin,” including assets laundered during the Bybit hack.

該平台自2014年以來運營，據報導估計有估計進行了19億美元的加密轉賬，其中一些被認為是“犯罪起源”，包括在拜比特黑客攻擊期間洗過的資產。

“Among other things, a portion of the $1.5 billion stolen from the Bybit crypto exchange, which was hacked on February 21, 2025, is said to have been exchanged via eXch,” the authorities wrote.

當局寫道：“除其他事項外，據說在2025年2月21日被黑客入侵的15億美元被盜的15億美元中的一部分被據說是通過交易所交換的。”

Multisig, FixedFloat among laundering cases

According to a post by crypto sleuth ZachXBT, eXch was also involved in laundering millions of funds from other crypto thefts and exploits, including Multisig, FixedFloat and the $243 million Genesis creditor theft.

根據Crypto Suluth Zachxbt的一篇文章，Exch還參與了其他加密盜竊和漏洞利用的數百萬美元的洗錢，包括Multisig，FiredFloat和2.43億美元的Genesis債權人盜竊。

Those are in addition to “countless phishing drainer services over the past few years with refusal to block addresses and freeze orders,” ZachXBT stated.

Zachxbt說，這些是“在過去的幾年中，拒絕阻止地址和凍結訂單”。

ZachXBT was among the first security analysts to report on eXch’s links to laundering $35 million of crypto assets stolen from Bybit soon after the hack was confirmed on Feb. 21, 2025.

ZachXBT是最早報告說因漢克於2025年2月21日被確認後不久從拜比特（Bybit）偷走的加密貨幣資產的鏈接的安全分析師之一。

“Lazarus Group transferred 5K ETH from the Bybit Hack to a new address and began laundering funds via eXch (a centralized mixer) and bridging funds to Bitcoin via Chainflip,” ZachXBT wrote in a Telegram post on Feb. 22.

Zachxbt在2月22日的電報帖子中寫道：“ Lazarus Group將5K ETH從Bybit Hack轉移到了一個新的地址，並通過Exch（集中式攪拌機）開始洗錢資金，並通過Chainflip將資金橋樑將資金橋樑橋樑。”

eXch announced termination of services by May 1

交易所宣佈在5月1日之前終止服務

After initially denying involvement in laundering funds from the Bybit hack, eXch eventually announced it would cease operations by May 1 in a Bitcoin Talk post published in mid-April.

最初否認拜比特黑客的洗錢資金的參與後，口氣最終宣布將於5月1日在4月中旬出版的比特幣談話帖子中停止運營。

“Even though we have been able to operate despite some failed attempts to shut down our infrastructure [...], we don’t see any point in operating in a hostile environment where we are the target of SIGINT [Signals Intelligence] simply because some people misinterpret our goals,” it wrote.

它寫道：“儘管我們能夠關閉基礎架構[...]的嘗試失敗，但我們仍無法在敵對的環境中進行操作的任何意義，因為我們是Sigint [Signals Intelligence]的目標，僅僅是因為有些人誤解了我們的目標。”

Addressing the seizure, Benjamin Krause, the senior public prosecutor, stressed the importance of action against “quick and anonymous opportunities for money laundering for any amount.”

高級檢察官本傑明·克勞斯（Benjamin Krause）在癲癇發作時強調了行動的重要性，即“以任何數量進行洗錢的快速，匿名機會”。

“Crypto swapping is an essential component of the underground economy, used to conceal incriminated funds from illegal activities such as hacking or trading in stolen payment card data, thus making them available to perpetrators,” he stated.

他說：“加密交換是地下經濟中的重要組成部分，用於隱藏諸如盜竊或偷竊支付卡數據的非法活動中的罪名資金，從而使肇事者可以使用。”
