The U.S. Department of Justice announced that German citizen Owe Martin Andresen, suspected of operating the now-defunct dark web marketplace Dream Market, has been charged with laundering over $2 million through cryptocurrency and gold bar purchases. Investigations revealed that Dream Market was long used for illegal transactions such as drugs and fake IDs. German police arrested Andresen on May 7 and seized approximately $1.7 million in gold bars and around $1.2 million in related assets. The U.S. has filed 12 money laundering charges against him, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. https://(wublock123.com)/news/german-citizen-charged-over-dream-market-money-laundering-2m-61215
