35-year-old Russian-Swiss citizen Roman Sterlingov is the latest person tied to a crypto mixing service to face prison time. The founder of Bitcoin Fog, a long-running cryptocurrency mixer, was convicted by a federal jury in Washington on Tuesday of facilitating the laundering of over 1.2 million bitcoins (BTC) – worth about $860 million at today’s prices – tied to darknet marketplaces. Roman Sterlingov, 35, a dual Russian-Swiss citizen, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in April 2021 and charged with money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, and money transmission without a license. Following his arrest, Sterlingov was also charged with conspiring to launder money.
