"WASHINGTON – Roman Sterlingov, a citizen of Russia and Sweden, was found guilty today of operating among the longest-running and most prolific bitcoin money laundering services on the darknet.
The jury verdict, in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, was announced by U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, Chief Jim Lee of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-Criminal Investigation, and FBI Assistant Director in Charge David Sundberg of the Washington Field Office.
Sterlingov, 35, was found guilty of money laundering conspiracy, sting money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, and violations of the D.C. Money Transmitters Act. The jury also granted forfeiture to the government of several specific assets that law enforcement had previously seized, including over about 1,354 Bitcoin held in a Bitcoin Fog wallet, as well as $349,625 and various cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, and Stellar) held in seized Kraken cryptocurrency exchange accounts.
