Do you think there are more charges to come?

If they think they actually laundered money through businesses, why didn't they charge them with multiple counts of money laundering and multiple counts of wire fraud and a violation of the CFAA?

I’m actually wondering if there are serious doubts here. Especially due to the weaker charges levied, and watching the cringy @realrazzlekhan tiktok page where everyone also has their doubts about these people’s competence.

Darknet markets sell IDs, the DOJ also says the hackers used fake IDs to reintegrate the money. This fairly welloff couple (lives in Manhattan condo, owns bengal cat and jewelry) could easily just be one of the IDs. Both the husband and wife are early crypto proponents but that might just be circumstantial to both the DOJ and the hacker who got their IDs.

Watching this one. Its like they got just enough of data for a charge to get the subpoenas and warrants, but not enough to go for the bigger more damning charges.
