RCMP recover $56-million from cryptocurrency platform called TradeOgre

The RCMP say they have taken down a cryptocurrency platform that was being used mainly for criminal transactions, what the force claims is the largest crypto bust in Canadian history.

In a statement Thursday, the force’s federal policing wing in Quebec said it had recovered $56-million from a platform known as TradeOgre, “the first time that a cryptocurrency exchange platform has been dismantled by Canadian law enforcement.”
