Thursday afternoon, several defendants were arraigned on numerous charges.
The Manhattan District Attorney says 42-year-old Thomas Spieker and his accomplices used bitcoin to facilitate a wide-range of criminal activity, including dark-web drug sales. In just one part of the alleged scheme, prosecutors say Spieker laundered more than $380,000 to accomplices Zashan Khan and Cosma Siekierski.
Spieker is also accused of laundering $620,000 for a client, who's an alleged member of an eastern European organized crime syndicate, and $267,000 for the operator of a Nigeria-based romance scam.
