>The penalties for violating Canada’s anti money-laundering laws come ten months after KrebsOnSecurity noted that Cryptomus’s Vancouver street address was home to dozens of foreign currency dealers, money transfer businesses, and cryptocurrency exchanges — none of which were physically located there.

If I was Brian (Krebs) I would greatly increase my own personal security after this. I'm absolutely not expecting something to happen to him but $176M is no joke and these guys not particularly lawful.

He's blown the whistle on multiple bad actors of similar size and on occasion backed by nation state actors, so reporting on Cryptomus isn't anymore different.
