The domain name Cryptonator.com was taken over by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and its founder, Russian national Roman Pikulev was indicted for processing more than $235 million dollars in illegal funds.
Pikulev operated the domain and crypto exchange for more than a decade, participating in numerous acts of money laundering. He was in possession of German documents using the name Roman Boss.
It was probably easy for the German and US Federal agencies to cross-reference Pikulev’s information, as the domain Cryptonator.com was registered under that alias in 2013. Historic WHOIS records via DomainTools show that.
Furthermore, DomainTools provides a range of professional solutions to combat malicious or phishing networks and cybercrime.
DomainTools will be attending the 2024 Black Hat conference in Las Vegas on August 7 & 8; check them out at booth #2368.
