Between 2001 and 2006, VASSILENKO provided financial services for a multitude of customers who made their living through cybercrime and the trafficking of stolen account data. These financial services included the exchange of digital currencies such as Egold and Webmoney, and transmitting funds for customers through multitude of methods, including digital currencies, bank wires, Western Union wires, and other payment methods. VASSILENKO helped to ensure the anonymity of his customers over the course of these financial transactions, through which identity thieves in the United States were able to purchase stolen credit card account data from identity thieves in Eastern Europe. In turn, identity thieves in Eastern Europe used VASSILENKO to launder their digital currency criminal proceeds.
