  244. <p>The deployment progress of the Starshield Program indicates significant strides in advancing U.S. national security capabilities:</p>
  245.  
  246.  
  247.  
  248. <p><strong>Initial Deployments</strong>: In 2022, SpaceX initiated the deployment phase by launching eight undisclosed national security satellites for the U.S. government, potentially serving as test satellites for the Starshield program.</p>
  249.  
  250.  
  251.  
  252. <p><strong>Continued Expansion</strong>: Furthering its commitment, they launched two additional satellites, designated as v1.5&#8217;s, in April 2023 on behalf of the Space Development Agency, showcasing a continued expansion of the constellation.</p>
  253.  
  254.  
  255.  
  256. <p><strong>Contract Wins</strong>: SpaceX&#8217;s endeavour gained momentum with its first contract win from the United States Space Force for the Starshield satellite constellation in 2023. Valued at $70 million for a year, this contract underscores the significance of SpaceX&#8217;s role in bolstering national security initiatives.</p>
  257.  
  258.  
  259.  
  260. <p><strong>Future Outlook</strong>: While the exact number of Starshield satellites in orbit remains undisclosed, and plans for future launches are not publicly known, the program&#8217;s trajectory indicates a concerted effort toward enhancing surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for U.S. defence and intelligence agencies.</p>

  342. <p>While a 95-rated Kobe Bryant is impressive, NBA 2K24 still costs around <strong>$59.99</strong>. However, you can play the game for as low as <strong>$10</strong>. Even then, you&#8217;ll have access to other AAA games.

It allows you to create and control an aggressive army of henchmen to help you defeat your enemies in the battleground. You can use various modifiers with the summon skeleton skill which enhances the damage rate and strength of your skeletal army.&nbsp;</li>

Thus, it provides additional damage to the enemy. It also allows you to deform the formation of the enemy’s fighting force and this way you can impact more. </li>

  791.  
  792.  
  793. <p>In recent years, the rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence has left a profound mark on various industries and aspects of human existence. Yet, the question lingers: should we perceive super AI as a boon or a bane? What about its ramifications for societal progress and global objectives? In a dialogue with the UN, Professor Daron Acemoglu from the Department of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shared his insights.</p>
  794.  
  795.  
  796.  
  797. <p>When asked about AI&#8217;s potential blessings or curses and the strategies to ensure its utilisation for the greater good of humanity and the planet, Acemoglu expressed, &#8220;AI could be either a blessing or a curse. The future of AI remains unwritten, and it will depend on the choices we make in the current generation. There is no doubt that advances in generative AI tools, such as <a href="https://player.me/open-source-large-language-models-llm-in-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Large Language Models</a>, have been impressive. But these could be used for the greater good or for enriching a narrow elite, with all of the costs that this entails.&#8221;</p>
  798.  
  799.  
  800.  
  801. <p>He emphasised, &#8220;To ensure we are on a socially beneficial path, we must start with a broader discussion, encompassing many more stakeholders than just the most powerful tech leaders, on what we can achieve with these new tools and what we want from them.&#8221;</p>

  927. <p>Advocates of AI often tout its potential to propel us towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While super AI can certainly aid in tasks like assisting workers, addressing the fundamental challenges of sustainable development—such as eradicating poverty, mitigating climate change, enhancing global healthcare, and fostering peace—ultimately requires human decision-making. AI may offer some assistance, but it&#8217;s essential to recognise that technology alone cannot solve these profoundly human issues.</p>
  928.  
  929.  
  930.  
  931. <p>Moreover, super AI introduces ethical considerations. A critical concern is the potential <a href="https://player.me/department-for-education-study-on-ai-and-chatbots/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">disempowerment of workers and citizens</a> due to the trajectory of technological development. This is evident in the emphasis on automation, the unequal distribution of benefits from digital advancements (largely favouring the affluent), and particularly concerning the control over information. Given AI&#8217;s reliance on data and information, allowing its tools to monopolise this domain raises significant ethical dilemmas.</p>

  1203.  
  1204.  
  1205.  
  1206. <p>NBA 2K24 is a challenging <a href="https://player.me/top-8-sports-games-for-the-xbox-series-x/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sports game</a> that takes you back to every basketball era there is. The gameplay rewards skill and effort to some extent, but heinous microtransactions are in the way. Still, being able to ball like Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, and Kobe Bryant is sensational. One of the biggest features this year is ProPLAY, which is a new motion capture technology. </p>

All of your movements are smoother than ever, including dribbling, passing, shooting, and all other types of movements. Playing as LeBron James is lifelike, especially if your TV is capable of 4K. Play <a href="https://player.me/is-nba-2k24-cross-platform/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA 2K24</a> if you don’t like being cheated by the AI to imitate a challenge. </p>
  1217.  
  1218.  
  1219.  
  1220. <p>There are also other modes in MyCareer, such as Shut It Down and they’re incredibly fun. Shut It Down lets you play on the streets, so you can expect flashy dribbles and riskier manoeuvres from the players. Finally, you can play online with your friends, regardless of whether they’re using an <a href="https://player.me/xbox-cloud-gaming-feature-arriving-soon/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xbox Cloud</a> or PlayStation console. </p>

  1227.  
  1228. <p><a href="https://player.me/best-warhammer-40k-games/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Warhammer 40,000</a>’s lore has always been fantastic. The idea of superhuman soldiers who serve under a tyrannical regime that conscripts children is attractive. This time around, you’re a veteran Space Marine who battles Chaos Space Marines and their daemons. Unlike Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2, which is a third-person game, this one takes place in first person.</p>

  1238. <p>Its fast-paced gameplay and horde-like enemies will remind many players of Doom and its titular character, Doomguy. Moving forward, the AI in <a href="https://player.me/a-guide-to-every-realms-of-ruin-factions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Warhammer</a> 40,000: Boltgun is one of a kind, so each combat encounter is fun. Nevertheless, the campaign is fantastic, telling the story of Malum Caedo and his attempts to obtain a Power Source. The Power Source can be used to open rifts for Chaos enemies to pass through and it’s vital for closing them. So, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a race against time. </p>

  1242. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>#3: Control: Ultimate Edition</strong></h3>
  1243.  
  1244.  
  1245.  
  1246. <p>Control: Ultimate Edition is a game of mind-bending realities and disturbing abilities that belong in a Matrix movie. This edition of the game also includes all of its DLCs. Yet, <a href="https://player.me/4-upcoming-remedy-entertainment-games/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Remedy Entertainment</a> keeps the loop going by entangling Control’s protagonist with Alan Wake, the horror novel writer. The story is also tight, as you’re an operative for the Federal Bureau of Control, which is an organisation that investigates the paranormal.</p>

  1254.  
  1255.  
  1256. <p>Throughout the 12-hour-long campaign, your weaponry transforms based on your needs and your powers are purely telepathic, so smashing enemies to death is acceptable. Let’s remember that Control: Ultimate Edition is available in 4K, and yes, it supports raytracing.&nbsp;</p>
  1257.  
  1258.  
  1259.  
  1260. <p>Nevertheless, its defining feature isn’t the gunplay. Rather, its existential horrors keep you on the edge of your seat because a wrong turn could lead to another murderous encounter. We look forward to Control 2 and its rollercoaster of action. In the meantime, check out <a href="https://player.me/alan-wake-2-new-game-plus-release-date-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alan Wake 2</a>, Remedy Entertainment’s latest action-horror game, where you’ll control two protagonists. </p>

  1268. <p><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677110/Lightyear_Frontier/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Lightyear Frontier</a> is a proper farming game that’s both peaceful and challenging because you’re a one-man army. You’re a farmer on a planet on the outskirts of the universe but thankfully, you have a Mech Suit to cultivate the land and harvest alien products. Additionally, you can also play Lightyear Frontier with up to three friends. Yes, everybody gets their own Mech Suit. </p>

Lightyear Frontier is also available on the PS5, <a href="https://player.me/leaked-release-date-for-new-xbox-controller/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xbox Series X</a>, and PC, but there’s no cross-platform multiplayer.

  1304. <p><a href="https://player.me/can-you-purchase-plateup-on-xbox-game-pass/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xbox Game Pass</a> was once the king of taking subscriptions but Sony is quickly catching up. Games such as NBA 2K24 are already available on the PS Plus and soon others will follow suit. For one, <a href="https://www.residentevil.com/re3/us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Resident Evil 3 Remake</a> and Marvel’s Midnight Suns are already available on PS Plus. Xbox Game Pass can stay ahead of the competition by offering more value for money, which might be better discounts or games with higher reviews. </p>

This 3D platformer brings a fresh spin to the iconic Sonic franchise, featuring six unique characters. Each with distinct abilities and gameplay styles. Players engage in high-speed, momentum-based challenges across 12 main levels and <a href="https://player.me/ranking-top-10-most-difficult-initial-bosses-fights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">boss stages</a>. </p>
  1375.  
  1376.  
  1377.  
  1378. <p>The game&#8217;s cartoonish aesthetic and intuitive controls cater to both newcomers and longtime fans, providing accessible yet engaging platforming action. However, the game&#8217;s simplicity and repetitive challenges may not satisfy players seeking a deeper, more varied experience. Nonetheless, it is one of the great Apple Arcade games.</p>

  1400. <p>The next on our Apple Arcade games list is Dead Cells. The game is celebrated for its dynamic, fluid controls and evolving challenges that ensure each playthrough remains fresh and engaging. It&#8217;s tough but fair gameplay makes it a standout title in the roguelike genre, especially since they added their Castlevania DLC, which surprisingly works quite well with touch controls.&nbsp;</p>
  1401.  
  1402.  
  1403.  
  1404. <p>The combat system is smooth and gritty, there are a ton of things in the game you can upgrade and unlock, and it is not rare for you to lose for several days within the Dead Cells universe. While incorporating a more prominent storyline and crafting some memorable set pieces could greatly enhance its status as one of the premier platformers of this console generation, Dead Cells persists as one of the must-play Apple Arcade games.</p>

  1488. <p>The art direction offers a visually captivating experience that looks beautiful regardless of the iPhone or iPad model you have.

  1508. <p>Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm set a high bar, drawing clear inspiration from Zelda but carving its path. You play as a nameless hero, newly knighted, tasked with defeating the evil Mesmeroth. While the <a href="https://player.me/avatar-frontiers-of-pandora-introduces-new-story-trailer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">story</a> feels like a mere backdrop, the gameplay evolves to a third-person action style, albeit with lacklustre combat mechanics. Despite its shortcomings, Oceanhorn 2&#8217;s visuals and understanding of Zelda mechanics make it worth a play, albeit with reservations.</p>
  1509.  
  1510.  
  1511.  
  1512. <p>Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm is not an original game but an accessible Apple Arcade iPhone Zelda-like game that honestly delivers efficiently on that promise.</p>

  1532. <p>Fantasian was created by none other than the original creator mind behind Final Fantasy RPG. It is set in a world crafted from 3D scanned dioramas offering a visually unique experience. The game does come with this challenging strategic combat and demanding boss battles that spike up the difficulty considerably, making it so you are probably going to get caught off guard when you&#8217;re destroying every monster in your path and then the boss battle comes around and you realise you need to improve your <a href="https://player.me/best-eula-build-in-genshin-impact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">build</a> and characters. </p>
  1533.  
  1534.  
  1535.  
  1536. <p>Its story is filled with heartwarming moments focusing on connections and relationships contrasted with its rigorous gameplay. This game is naturally built organically as a JRPG rather than being infected with in-app purchases.</p>

  1662. <p>Hanooman is a creation rooted in the ethos of Indian cultural heritage and is represented by a pioneering initiative by the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B). Named after the revered Hindu deity Hanuman, this series of open-source Indic language AI models embodies a fusion of tradition and technological innovation. Hanooman was developed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.zaubacorp.com/company/SEETHA-MAHALAKSHMI-HEALTHCARE-PRIVATE-LIMITED/U33119TG2021PTC158333" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Seetha Mahalakshmi Healthcare (SML)</a> and can generate text and speech across various Indian languages. The inaugural version of this model is slated for release in late March.</p>
  1663.  
  1664.  
  1665.  
  1666. <p>IIT-B is spearheading the development of the BharatGPT ecosystem by forging partnerships with industry stalwarts such as telecom giant Reliance Jio and medical equipment manufacturer SML. Ganesh Ramakrishnan, chair professor at the Department of Computer Science &amp; Engineering at IIT-B and the project&#8217;s lead, explained the initiative&#8217;s vision in an interview with ET. He revealed, &#8220;The goal is to build generative AI capabilities for India, marrying Bharatiya linguistic and cultural heritage with technological innovation for catering to the large need for AI in the country.&#8221;</p>

  1676. <p>Ramakrishnan further emphasised the symbolic significance of Hanooman, drawing parallels with the altruistic attributes associated with Lord Hanuman. He asserted, &#8220;Hanooman itself borrows from the benevolent power inspired by Lord Hanuman and it reflects our dedication to public good. We are using the immense strength of <a href="https://player.me/generative-ai-in-2024-prospects" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">generative AI</a> solely for the benefit of others, not for personal gain.&#8221;</p>

Further contributions from Vardhan and others are still under negotiation and await finalisation.</p>

  1765. <p>Creating Hanooman addresses concerns previously voiced by Indian entrepreneurs regarding the availability of datasets in local languages for training foundational language models. While English-based chatbots have been prevalent, creating bots for regional languages, particularly those with limited resources, presents challenges. The necessity for resources to train and construct <a href="https://player.me/open-source-large-language-models-llm-in-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LLMs</a> underscores the crucial question of dataset accessibility. Some suggest that government intervention to open access to language libraries could be a viable solution.</p>

  1769. <p>The forthcoming launch of Hanooman coincides with a wave of innovation within the Indian startup ecosystem. Ventures like Sarvam and Krutrim, supported by prominent investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners and Vinod Khosla’s fund, are crafting open-sourced AI models customised to meet India&#8217;s unique needs.</p>

In case you’re not aware, <a href="https://player.me/top-5-characters-in-resident-evil-4-remake/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Resident Evil</a> didn’t kickstart the horror game genre. Rather, that honour belongs to Sweet Home and Alone in the Dark. These two games have a feature in common, which is the limited ammunition and resources. It definitely didn’t survive the test of time like Resident Evil, making this remake all the sweeter.</p>

  1842. <p>That said, Alone in the Dark is still the only instalment that’s critically acclaimed. <a href="https://player.me/the-history-of-alone-in-the-dark-games-from-awesome-to-awful/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alone in the Dark 2 and other sequels</a> were never up to par, which is why Resident Evil is still more popular. Still, below are six mechanics that will determine if we need Alone in the Dark 2.</p>
  1843.  
  1844.  
  1845.  
  1846. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>#1: A Third-Person Experience Awaits</strong></h3>
  1847.  
  1848.  
  1849.  
  1850. <p>The original game featured an isometric camera, so the camera angle was fixed. Thankfully, Alone in the Dark (2024) developers recognise the game for what it is: A survival adventure that lets you explore a <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovecraftian_horror" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Lovecraftian</a> world of eldritch horrors. Sure, isometric games let you view more of the sandbox at a glance. </p>
  1851.  
  1852.  
  1853.  
  1854. <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

  1857.  
  1858.  
  1859.  
  1860. <p>However, fights and encounters from third-person perspectives are far more personal. Playing as Joel in <a href="https://player.me/the-last-of-us-online-is-it-coming/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Last of Us Part 1</a> felt personal because we could picture ourselves performing each of his swings. Also, players control only one character in Alone in the Dark, so an isometric perspective isn’t necessary. In games like <a href="https://player.me/bg3-getting-the-most-out-of-paladin-class-build/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baldur’s Gate 3</a>, an isometric view is perfect because you’re controlling a party.</p>
  1861.  
  1862.  
  1863.  
  1864. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>#2: More Environmental Puzzles</strong></h3>
  1865.  
  1866.  
  1867.  
  1868. <p>Alone in the Dark will be set in a haunted house, so you can expect many puzzles scattered throughout the campaign. In <a href="https://player.me/8-upcoming-games-for-fans-of-resident-evil-4/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Resident Evil</a> fashion, some puzzles will reward you with guns and ammunition, while others will unlock hidden paths. We expect THQ Nordic to dial up the number of puzzles by 11, meaning, there will be many brainstorming sessions. The team also intends to use puzzles to unlock new clues for completing the campaign. </p>
  1869.  
  1870.  
  1871.  
  1872. <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

  1875.  
  1876.  
  1877.  
  1878. <p>So, the more you play the game, the deeper you’re sucked into the dungeon-like sandbox. In other words, no puzzle will be useless in Alone in the Dark (2024). The <a href="https://aloneinthedark.fandom.com/wiki/Derceto_Manor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Derceto Manor</a> and its rooms will transform when you least expect it, adding a layer of mystery and unpredictability to the gameplay. </p>
  1879.  
  1880.  
  1881.  
  1882. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>#3: Tighter Gunplay and Streamlined Combat System</strong></h3>
  1883.  
  1884.  
  1885.  
  1886. <p>You can expect a better combat system in <a href="https://player.me/will-alone-in-the-dark-be-available-on-game-pass/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alone in the Dark</a>, which includes new animations for the protagonists and enemies. Thankfully, this is a remake from scratch, so weapons such as the Plasma Cannon, Old Cavalry Sabre, Pirate Pistol, and Thompson will be getting new animations too. </p>
  1887.  
  1888.  
  1889.  
  1890. <p>In the original game, players would get to pick from 35 weapons. We hope the developers will add even more weapons and gear for gamers to play around with.&nbsp;</p>

  1904. <p><a href="https://player.me/alan-wake-2-new-game-plus-release-date-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alan Wake 2</a> and The Last of Us: Part Two both boast an amazing atmosphere with plenty of shadows and limited lighting. Besides that, encounters with zombies and other horrors usually take place in tight corners. An advantage is that the atmosphere literally chokes players, so escape and survival are your only motivations. In Alone in the Dark, Derceto Manor transforms into a house of horrors during the evening, sort of like <a href="https://player.me/is-dying-light-2-cross-platform/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dying Light</a> 2’s dangerous nighttime.</p>

  1912.  
  1913.  
  1914. <p>With a third-person view, Alone in the Dark will also boast an immersive atmosphere. Still, THQ Nordic isn’t known for its horror games. So, we’re interested in how the project will turn out, especially as it has been postponed multiple times already. Yes, Alone in the Dark will be set in Louisiana instead of the usual Lovecraftian New England sandboxes. Hopefully, the game will be released on March 20, 2024, this time around.</p>

  1918. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>#5: Ever-Changing Rooms Add to Its Replayability</strong></h3>
  1919.  
  1920.  
  1921.  
  1922. <p>Replayability skyrockets because rooms in Derceto Manor change in the blink of an eye. You never know what you will find venturing into a new area in Alone in the Dark. Yes, the variety of weapons that you can use also lets you decide your approach to every combat encounter. Do you use your Sabre or perhaps a rifle will pack more punch? Gamers will have to decide on the fly.</p>

  1935.  
  1936. <p>Alone in the Dark will be available in 4K resolution, which means that the rooms, weapons, and all objects in the sandbox will have 4K textures. Nevertheless, next-gen consoles such as the PS5 and <a href="https://player.me/xbox-games-coming-to-playstation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xbox Series X</a> are capable of so much more. You can also expect instant loading times, so the game truly feels like a movie.

  2012. <p>At the heart of this saga is Bitcoin Fog, a platform that emerged in the nascent days of cryptocurrency. It promises users the ability to anonymise their <a href="https://player.me/how-bitcoin-hit-record-high-of-56000-since-november-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> transactions.</p>
  2013.

  2015.  
  2016. <p>Launched in 2011, it catered to an audience seeking to erase the digital traces of their Bitcoin to obscure the origins of funds tied to illicit activities. From narcotics sales to money laundering, Bitcoin Fog became a cornerstone for those looking to operate in the shadows of the online world.</p>

  2022.  
  2023.  
  2024. <p>Understanding how Bitcoin Fog operates is crucial to appreciating the complexity of Roman Sterlingov&#8217;s scheme. The service employed a technique known as &#8220;Mixing&#8221; or &#8220;Tumbling&#8221;, which pooled Bitcoin from multiple users, jumbled it through a labyrinth of transactions, and redistributed it.</p>
  2025.  
  2026.  
  2027.  
  2028. <p>This process diluted the traceability of the funds, making it exceedingly difficult for authorities to follow the money trail. Roman Sterlingov&#8217;s platform charged a commission based on the amount being laundered, thus profiting from the myriad of dark web transactions it facilitated.</p>

  2043.  
  2044. <p>Sterlingov, a 35-year-old dual Russian-Swiss citizen, faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison on charges of money laundering and operating without the necessary licences. He was apprehended in April 2021 at Los Angeles International Airport and was subsequently charged with money laundering, operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, and failing to acquire a licence for money transmission.</p>
  2045.  
  2046.  
  2047.  
  2048. <p>As the trial unfolded, Sterlingov was accused of facilitating the laundering of over 1.2 million bitcoins through Bitcoin Fog. At today&#8217;s prices, this amount translates to approximately $860 million. These funds were reportedly tied to darknet marketplaces, illustrating the magnitude of the illicit operations.</p>
  2049.  
  2050.  
  2051.  
  2052. <p>Despite Sterlingov and his defence team&#8217;s claims of innocence, asserting that he never operated or collected fees from Bitcoin Fog and only admitted to using the service, the jury found him guilty on all counts after a month-long trial. This conviction underscores the serious <a href="https://player.me/senator-elizabeth-warrens-view-why-regulations-are-vital/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">approach taken by the legal system</a> toward cryptocurrency-related crimes.</p>

  2097.  
  2098. <p>Sterlingov&#8217;s conviction is a critical moment in the broader context of the crackdown on <a href="https://player.me/u-s-treasury-proposes-crypto-mixer-regulations-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crypto mixing services</a>, often used to obscure the origins of illicitly obtained cryptocurrencies. Notably, Sterlingov is not the only individual facing legal repercussions for such activities. During his trial, testimonies were heard from two other notable figures in the crypto crime landscape: Larry Harmon and Ilya Lichtenstein.</p>
  2099.  
  2100.  
  2101.  
  2102. <p>Harmon, the former CEO of the bitcoin mixer Helix, and Lichtenstein, involved in laundering bitcoins from the 2016 Bitfinex hack, provided evidence against Sterlingov. Their cases highlight the interconnected nature of cryptocurrency laundering operations and the increasing efforts by authorities to dismantle these networks.</p>
