Virtual Assets LLC, a cryptocurrency ATM operator that operates Bitcoin ATMs across the US under the name "Crypto Dispensers", and its chief executive Firas Isa were formally charged on Tuesday with money laundering, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois.
Prosecutors allege that Isa, 36, and his company allegedly helped criminals launder at least $10 million in illegal funds through cryptocurrency. The funds were allegedly deposited into company accounts, then converted into cryptocurrency and transferred to digital wallets to disguise the source of the funds.
If convicted, Isa faces up to 20 years in prison. It is worth noting that on the official website of Crypto Dispensers, Isa continued to publish a series of blog posts such as "How to withdraw bitcoin from ATMs" and "Overview of Bitcoin ATM regulation in various countries" in October. Isa and his company have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
