В ходе этой операции было арестовано 58 человек, и установлены личности 263 подозреваемых.В частности, полиция Аргентины обнаружила сеть "преступление как услуга" (Crime-as-a-Service, CaaS), предоставляющую услуги по регистрации доменных имен и отмыванию денег, арестовав 17 человек и установив личности 196 подозреваемых. Полиция Южноафриканской Республики провела обыски в 7 местах в Йоханнесбурге, арестовав 39 подозреваемых в мошенничестве в сфере знакомств и инвестиционного мошенничества, нацеленных на пенсионеров из англоязычных стран, а также изъяла 2,67 миллиона долларов и заморозила 257 банковских счетов.Кроме того, полиция Италии подтвердила задержание одного подозреваемого, связанного с транснациональной сетью отмывания денег, обнаружив, что его банковский счет был вовлечен в отмывание средств на сумму 845 тысяч евро; полиция Румынии ликвидировала группу инвестиционных мошенников, арестовав 11 человек и изъяв наличные, криптовалюту и другую незаконную собственность.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно отчету The Block, что глобальная операция по борьбе с мошенничеством под руководством INTERPOL привела к аресту более 5800 подозреваемых и успешному раскрытию сети отмывания криптовалюты, использующей методы обмена токенов между цепями для сокрытия незаконных потоков средств.Один из подозреваемых обработал более 122.5 миллиона долларов через свой цифровой кошелек всего за 10 месяцев. Аналитики на блокчейне указывают, что хотя операции между цепями увеличивают сложность отслеживания, это не означает, что потоки средств невозможно отследить; такие случаи показывают, что финансовая преступность продолжает эволюционировать вместе с развитием технологий блокчейна.
