The seized domains now redirect to law enforcement servers.
Launched in March 2022, BidenCash attracted over 117,000 users and facilitated the sale of more than 15 million stolen payment card records, generating over $17 million in revenue.
The platform also sold unauthorized access credentials to computer systems.
In a marketing push, BidenCash gave away 3.3 million stolen credit card records between October 2022 and February 2023.
The U.S. Secret Service, FBI, and other cybercrime units led the investigation as part of a broader effort to dismantle illicit networks using cryptocurrency.
This move follows earlier actions like May’s Operation RapTor, which resulted in 270 arrests and the seizure of $200 million, largely in crypto, from dark web drug markets.
