Belarusian and Cypriot national Aliaksandr Klimenka, allegedly connected to the defunct BTC-e cryptocurrency exchange, is facing charges of money laundering and running an unlicensed monetary services related business. Klimenka, reportedly extradited to the US, could face up to 25 years in jail if found guilty. Allegations suggest that BTC-e permitted high levels of anonymity, enabling criminal actions such as distribution of narcotics and identity theft. Klimenka is also accused of not adhering to anti-money laundering or know-your-customer US federal laws.
