The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was able to arrest a Russian rapper on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, by using bitcoin wallet activity and an old exchange account as key evidence.

According to affidavit unsealed this week, she and her team were able to use a digital paper trail to uncover a major money-laundering operation, which was run by criminal organization QQAAZZ. Maksim Boiko, the rapper, is thought to be closely connected to leaders of the QQAAZZ.
