💥 The crypto market has experienced the loudest scandal of the year. Europol, Eurojust, and law enforcement from over 10 countries conducted an operation that dismantled a global network of crypto fraudsters, which managed to launder over €700,000,000 through fake trading platforms.
And while the world is 'burning', the Ukrainian crypto community must closely monitor this story — because it directly predicts what the legalization of crypto will look like for us.
🚨 How the scheme worked: high-precision criminal conveyor
This was not a 'kitchen scam', but a whole international industry that included:
🟥 1. A network of fake crypto exchanges
Beautiful websites. Pseudographics. 'ROI 300%'.
Victims saw fictitious profits in 'cabinets'.
🟥 2. Call centers with professional manipulators
A few calls every day:
'You're almost in the black!'
'A little additional funding for the position is needed!'
'You have a chance that comes once in a lifetime!'
This was industrial social engineering.
🟥 3. Deepfake advertising
Scammers used:
artificial 'interviews' with stars
fabricated advice from politicians
forged news releases
The level is like that of marketing agencies.
🟥 4. Money laundering machine
Crypto was flowing through:
exchanges of levels 2-3,
'cold' wallets,
multi-chain mixers,
shell companies in Cyprus, Germany, Spain.
Thus, they hid over €700 million.
🔥 What law enforcement did
The operation took place in two stages:
🔵 Stage 1 (October 27, 2025) — strikes on the 'brain' of the scheme
Participating countries:
France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, and others.
Results:
9 detained
€800,000 in bank accounts
€415,000 in crypto
€300,000 in cash
Comps, carriers, watches, documents
Complete destruction of the central 'brain center'
🔵 Stage 2 (November 25–26, 2025) — a blow to the advertising industry of scammers
This is exactly what made their scheme scalable:
affiliate marketing + deepfake advertising + fake lead generators.
The police struck at:
companies generating 'leads'
advertising networks
content production studios
intermediaries selling personal data
This is the first time in EU history that the advertising infrastructure was officially recognized as part of a criminal organization.
🧠 Analytical conclusion: The world is entering a phase of 'full crypto transparency'
This story is not just another scam.
This is a glimpse into future crypto regulation:
✔️ Global AML operations are no longer exotic
EU, Israel, the Balkans, Scandinavia — are already working as a single mechanism.
✔️ Crypto investment advertising is now under attack
All deepfake 'investment videos' circulating on Ukrainian Facebook are the same model. It is currently being systematically destroyed.
✔️ Crypto analytics has become a key weapon
Involved:
blockchain analysts
crypto specialists of Europol
network analytical algorithms
cross-chain monitoring
This is exactly what we've been writing about in the series for weeks:
the era of anonymous crypto is coming to an end.
🇺🇦 What does this mean for Ukraine?
Much. Ukraine is already:
integrates into European AML standards,
prepares a subordinate act to the VA law,
modernizes crypto financial monitoring,
participates in international cyber operations.
This operation is a direct signal:
👉 Ukraine is moving in the same direction.
👉 Fake crypto exchanges, pseudo-trading, 'promised ROIs' — will be destroyed.
👉 The crypto market will become strictly regulated.
And that's good. Because freedom in crypto is not chaos, but security.
🔥 Conclusion from Moon Man 567
Crypto has become a tool of both freedom and crime. And the world has decided: there will be no more chaos. The liquidation of the network worth €700 million is just the beginning.
Now law enforcement is destroying:
call centers,
dark affiliate marketing,
deepfake advertising,
blockchain mixers,
fake exchanges.
The world is building order in crypto. And we are helping Ukrainians understand this order.
