A former crypto exchange operator – Alexander Vinnik of BTC-e – pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy charges before the court on Friday. 
According to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), Vinnik oversaw BTC-e between 2011 and 2017. During that time, the platform had more than 1 million users, who executed $9 billion worth of transactions as per the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/btc-e-operator-pleads-guilty-money-laundering-conspiracy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">court records.</a> 
Officials believe that BTC-e was a haven for criminals. The exchange did not register as a Money service business and did not have an AML system. 
Moreover, cooperation among international law enforcement organizations is also critical for detecting and prosecuting offenders using cryptocurrency. 
While the crypto world evolves, regulators must strike a balance between encouraging innovation and protecting users from financial crimes.
