Bit Coin Bust!
A Russian arrested in Greece on suspicion of running a money laundering operation through a bitcoin platform is 38 year old Alexander Vinnik, police sources said on Wednesday.
Greek police earlier said the suspect, who was picked up on a U.S. warrant, was thought to have used bitcoin to launder 'at least' $4 billion earned through illicit activities.
Unlike traditional currencies such as the US dollar, Bitcoin has no central bank and is not backed by any government.
