🚨🇺🇸 DOJ SEIZES $400M IN CRYPTO & ASSETS — DARKNET CRACKDOWN $ROSE
The U.S. Department of Justice has finalized the forfeiture of over $400 million in crypto and related assets linked to Helix, a notorious darknet Bitcoin mixer.$EDU
A final federal court order now transfers full ownership of the seized assets to the U.S. government — including cryptocurrency, real estate, and financial accounts.$BULLA
🔍 Key details you need to know:
Helix operated between 2014–2017 as a Bitcoin “tumbler” designed to hide transaction trails
Prosecutors say it processed 354,468 BTC
That BTC was worth ~$300M at the time — worth tens of billions today
Funds were allegedly used to launder proceeds from darknet markets, drug trafficking, and cybercrime
⚠️ Why this matters: This is one of the largest crypto forfeitures ever and sends a clear message — privacy tools tied to illicit activity are now prime enforcement targets. Expect tighter surveillance, more seizures, and increased regulatory pressure across the crypto space.
