Today, the Department of Justice has dealt a significant blow to the crypto crime ecosystem, General Lisa Monaco, Deputy Attorney General, via statement .

U.S. officials allege that the crypto exchange processed over $700 million in illegal funds by not having a proper anti-money laundering program in place.

The Justice Department and Treasury Department officials also allege that Bitzlato was aware of some of this criminal activity.

Bitzlato was particularly active in facilitating illicit activity, but it is ultimately part of a larger, larger ecosystem of cyber criminals that are allowed to operate with impunity within Russia, Wally Adeyemo, Deputy Treasury Secretary, via statement.

'The Hill' reports that a large part of the criminal complaint centers on Bitzlato's relationship with a Russian-based darknet market known as Hyrda Marketplace.

According to the complaint, a "substantial portion" of the crypto billions Hydra received came from Bitzlato wallets.

'The Hill' reports that Legkodymov resides in China.

It's not clear why he was in Miami

Trump BLASTS His MAGA Base as ā€˜Stupid’, ā€˜Gullible Weaklings’ | Epstein Files Controversy Explodes

Trump has sharply criticized his own MAGA supporters, calling them ā€œstupid peopleā€ and ā€œgullible weaklingsā€ amid growing controversy over the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Department of Justice and FBI recently released a report denying the existence of a high-profile client list linked to Epstein, a convicted Sex offender found dead in jail in 2019. However, many Republicans remain skeptical, suspecting a cover-up to protect powerful figures, especially given conflicting statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who claimed to possess Epstein’s client list. Trump has distanced himself from GOP members who accept the DOJ’s version, labeling them weaklings, while dismissing the controversy as a ā€œhoaxā€ fabricated by Democrats #TrumpEpsteinFiles #MAGAControversy #EpsteinFiles #TrumpVsMAGA #EpsteinScandal #EpsteinCoverUp #TrumpSpeaksOut #MAGAUnderFire #TrumpEpsteinLink #EpsteinDocuments #EpsteinCase2025 #TrumpBacklash #TrumpStatement #TrumpNews #EpsteinNetwork ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.124~

U.S Congress Orders DOJ To RELEASE Epstein Files In 30 Days | SHOCKING List Of Names To Surface Soon

Epstein Files: A political firestorm has erupted in Washington as the House passed a resolution demanding the release of all DOJ documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Ralph Norman and backed by multiple Republican lawmakers, orders Attorney General Pam Bondi to make all credible files public within 30 days. These include files related to Epstein’s detention, death, his ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, and internal DOJ communications. Though symbolic and non-binding, the move has fueled public pressure to unseal Epstein's elusive ā€œclient list.ā€ Critics call the vote a partisan stunt, while others hail it as a breakthrough for accountability. Social media exploded with demands for transparency. The question now: Will Bondi comply? Or will the cover-up claims grow louder? #EpsteinFiles #DOJ #JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinList #MaxwellTrial #EpsteinCoverUp #Congress #HouseResolution #PamBondi #EpsteinClients #GhislaineMaxwell #EpsteinInvestigation #UnsealTheDocs #ChildTrafficking #JusticeDepartment #EpsteinDeath #CongressDemandsAnswers #EpsteinScandal #PoliticalFirestorm #AccountabilityNow ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~

Matt Gaetz Tipped To Replace Pam Bondi As Attorney General? Epstein Scandal ROCKS MAGA World

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a ā€œclient list.ā€ FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow. As calls for Bondi’s resignation grow louder, Santos’ viral X post—"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"—fueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondi’s actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epstein’s intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily.
