The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has recognized a major crypto criminal among those exposed to have siphoned funds into shadowy tax havens in its “Pandora Papers.’
According to the organization’s findings from its Pandora Papers investigation, offshore assets belonging to Bitcoin czar who was sentenced for money laundering in connection with the largest cyber heist in history were identified.
The Pandora Papers claim to expose the hidden assets of more than 330 politicians and high-ranking public officials from 90 different jurisdictions, including 35 country leaders and more than 130 billionaires. The ICIJ also states that the assets of bankers, big political donors, international criminals, pop stars and sporting giants can be identified among the documents.
While Bitcoin cza identified in the Pandora Papers is not named directly, their sentencing narrows the scope of possibility as to who the individual may be.
Reporters have described the operations of hacker group Carbanak as having been unrivaled in scale and value, with the cybergang estimated to have stolen more than $1.24 billion from financial institutions and businesses.
