New Anti Anti-Money Laundering Services for Crooks
Summary: A new dark web service called Antinalysis markets itself to cybercriminals as an address risk analyzer that shows how their Bitcoin holdings and transactions might be flagged by law enforcement and exchanges, charging roughly $3 per lookup with a $30 minimum and plans up to $6,000 for 5,000 requests. Elliptic co-founder Tom Robinson said the service's creator is also a developer of Incognito Market, a darknet narcotics marketplace launched in late 2020, while independent tracer Nick Bax said Antinalysis appears to be a clone of AMLBot, and Elliptic later confirmed the results are identical and that AMLBot resells for Crystal Blockchain.
Key Takeaway: Blockchain analytics was built as a defensive tool for regulated institutions; a $3-per-lookup service now hands criminals a preview of exactly how their wallets will be scored before they cash out, and the operator behind it also runs a darknet drug market.
