RCMP shuts down TradeOgre and seizes crypto
Initial DisclosureThe Royal Canadian Mounted Police shut down the TradeOgre cryptocurrency exchange in Canada and seized more than $40 million believed to originate from criminal activities. The RCMP said the Money Laundering Investigative Team (MLIT) began investigating TradeOgre in June 2024 after a tip from Europol, and investigators said the platform failed to register with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) as a money services business, did not identify its clients, and may have been used by cybercriminals to launder money through privacy-focused trading and Monero support.
