德国当局关闭了Crenf Cryptocurrency Exchange，在加密货币资产中扣押了3400万欧元

法兰克福AM主要检察官办公室与中央互联网犯罪（ZIT）和联邦刑事警察局（BKA）合作，已关闭总部位于德国的加密货币交易所。

The Frankfurt am Main Public Prosecutor’s Office, in collaboration with the Central Office for the Combat of Internet Crime (ZIT) and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), has shut down cryptocurrency exchange eXch.

法兰克福AM主要检察官办公室与中央互联网犯罪（ZIT）和联邦刑事警察局（BKA）合作关闭了加密货币交易所。

On April 30, law enforcement seized the exchange’s server infrastructure and crypto assets worth an estimated €34 million ($38.5 million).

4月30日，执法部门夺取了交易所的服务器基础架构和加密资产，价值3400万欧元（3850万美元）。

As revealed by the authorities on May 9, the seized crypto assets included Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Dash (DASH). They also confiscated over eight terabytes of data.

正如当局在5月9日揭示的那样，被没收的加密资产包括比特币（BTC），以太坊（ETH），Litecoin（LTC）和Dash（Dash）。他们还没收了超过八个数据的数据。

“Once again, we have been able to seize millions of euros’ worth of illicit cryptocurrencies and shut down a digital money-laundering platform. The scale of these operations clearly shows that cybercrimes are being committed on an industrial level,” said Carsten Meywirth, Head of the Cybercrime Department of the German Federal Criminal Police Office.

卡斯滕·梅维斯（Carsten Meywirth）表示：“我们再次能够抓住数百万欧元的非法加密货币价值，并关闭了数字化洗钱平台。这些行动的规模清楚地表明，网络犯罪在工业层面上是在工业层面上犯下的。”

The closure of eXch follows allegations that the privacy-focused exchange was used to launder illicit funds. The platform operated without Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements and was accessible on both the Clearnet and Darknet.

交易所的关闭遵循指控以隐私为中心的交易所被用来洗钱。该平台在不知道您的客户（KYC）要求的情况下运行，并且在Clearnet和DarkNet上都可以访问。

The press release notes that the platform was advertised on criminal forums, openly stating that it did not implement anti-money laundering measures. Users remained anonymous, with no identity verification and no data storage, making eXch ideal for those seeking to keep financial transactions hidden.

新闻稿指出，该平台是在犯罪论坛上做广告的，公开地指出，它没有实施反洗钱措施。用户仍然是匿名的，没有身份验证，也没有数据存储，这对于那些寻求隐藏财务交易的人来说是理想的选择。

According to German authorities, eXch facilitated around $1.9 billion in cryptocurrency transfers since its launch. Authorities suspect that the exchange received Bitcoin of criminal origin.

根据德国当局的说法，自推出以来，交易所的加密货币转移约为19亿美元。当局怀疑交易所接受了犯罪起源的比特币。

Moreover, it was allegedly laundering a significant portion of the $1.5 billion stolen from the hacked cryptocurrency exchange Bybit in February. The Bybit hack, attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, is one of the largest cryptocurrency thefts in history. Hackers siphoned off over 400,000 ETH from the exchange’s cold wallet.

此外，据称它是在2月从黑客加密货币交易所bybit偷来的15亿美元中盗窃的很大一部分。归因于朝鲜的拉撒路集团的Bybit Hack是历史上最大的加密货币盗窃案之一。黑客从交易所的冷钱包中抽出超过40万ETH。

“eXch was used to launder hundreds of millions from the Bybit hack, Multisig hack, FixedFloat exploit, $243 million Genesis Creditor theft, and countless phishing drainer services over the past few years with refusal to block addresses and freeze orders,” blockchain investigator, ZachXBT, wrote on Telegram.

“ Exch习惯于从Bybit Hack，Multisig Hack，Firedfloat漏洞，2.43亿美元的Genesis债权人盗窃和无数的网络钓鱼Drainer Services中的数以亿美元洗钱，Zachxbt在电视剧中写道。

Amid the allegations surrounding Bybit’s funds, eXch announced its voluntary closure effective May 1. The exchange cited a hostile environment and the pressure from the ongoing transatlantic operation, which involved allegations of money laundering and terrorism, as key reasons for their decision to shut down.

在拜比特资金周围的指控中，交易所于5月1日起自愿关闭。交易所引用了一个敌对的环境以及正在进行的跨大西洋行动的压力，涉及对洗钱和恐怖主义的指控，是他们关闭的决定的关键原因。

“The goals we certainly never had in mind were to enable illicit activities such as money laundering or terrorism, as we are being accused of now. We also have absolutely no motivation to operate a project where we are viewed as criminals. This doesn’t make any sense to us,” the April 17 announcement read.

“我们当然从未想到的目标是实现非法活动，例如洗钱或恐怖主义，因为我们现在被指控。我们也绝对没有动力运营一个我们被视为罪犯的项目。这对我们来说没有任何意义，” 4月17日的公告宣布。

However, just one day before eXch’s closure, German authorities acted and seized it. They stated that they managed to secure numerous pieces of evidence and traces. For now, the Frankfurt Prosecutor’s Office has not released additional details on potential charges or arrests related to the operation.

但是，在交易所关闭的前一天，德国当局采取了行动并占领了它。他们说，他们设法获得了许多证据和痕迹。目前，法兰克福检察官办公室尚未发布有关与该行动有关的潜在指控或逮捕的其他详细信息。
