The Justice Department reported that Larry Dean Harmon (38, Akron, Ohio) had accepted the confiscation of more than 4,400 bitcoins, valued at over $ 200 million at today’s prices, and d ‘other foreclosed properties that were involved in the money laundering conspiracy. Harmon will be sentenced at a date to be determined and faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of $ 500,000 or double the value of the property involved in the transaction, a supervised release period of up to three years, and mandatory restitution. The August 18, 2021 report titled Ohio Resident Pleads Guilty to Operating Darknet-Based Bitcoin Mixer That Laundered Over $ 300 million included these comments on court documents, which Harmon:
admitted to mining Helix from 2014 to 2017. Helix functioned as a bitcoin mixer or cup, allowing customers, for a fee, to send bitcoin to designated recipients in a way designed to conceal the source or owner bitcoin.
Helix was related and associated with Grams, a Darknet search engine also operated by Harmon.
Harmon announced Helix to customers on the Darknet to conceal transactions from law enforcement.
We will surely see more Darknet crimes in the future, and glad Harmon got caught!
