Australian Woman Accused of Money Laundering Through Illegal Bitcoin Exchange<\/h2>\n

An unidentified woman has been charged with what is said to be the first case of its kind down under involving Bitcoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 52-year old woman was apprehended by NSW police while at a shopping center in Sydney’s inner west side.<\/p>\n

Authorities claim that the individual was tied to a cryptocurrency wallet that was used to transact over 326 BTC over the course of several years.<\/p>\n

“That equates to over $5 million in today’s money. This is a significant quantity of Bitcoin for somebody who is not a registered digital currency exchange,”\u00a0 Detective Superintendent Matthew Craft, Cybercrime Squad Commander explained<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The woman was detained, and NSW police seized $60,000 in cash and 3.8 BTC worth of Bitcoin. Telephones, smartphones, computers, and more were also taken from the suspect’s home in Hurtsville.<\/p>\n
