DOJ shuts down 145 BidenCash sites: ‘Not anonymous anymore’

U.S. shuts down BidenCash and seizes domains and crypto in coordinated dark web crime crackdown.

• The U.S. government has seized 145 domains and crypto funds tied to the illicit BidenCash marketplace.
• The operation aligns with the global enforcement momentum seen in Operation RapTor.

In a major blow to crypto industry-facilitated cybercrime, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has shut down 145 sites associated with the BidenCash marketplace.

The marketplace had been up and running since March 2022, providing users with a platform to sell and purchase compromised financial data with crypto.

Despite the name, BidenCash has no political ties to the former president—it was a marketplace for crime, not commentary.
