On-chain investigator ZachXBT released a report on March 24 alleging that Russian over-the-counter (OTC) broker Aleksandr (Aleks) Khinkis has laundered over $4.7 million for ransomware groups through a single crypto exchange account since July 2025. The funds are tied to three suspicious ransom payments totaling approximately 796 bitcoins (BTC).
