Independent crypto detective ZachXBT has uncovered another money laundering case, but this time the target is not a typical crypto protocol hacker. He exposed the identity of M1llionz, a French cybercriminal who also operates under the alias RichMilly666. The investigation highlights a growing trend of criminals using digital assets to disguise the flow of funds originating from real-world physical violence.
The perpetrator is strongly suspected of using crypto infrastructure to launder money from two violent home robberies in France in April 2026. From the string of robberies, the perpetrator seized assets with a total value of $667,000. ZachXBT’s tracking of the fund flows yielded tangible results, recovering a portion of the stolen funds worth $93,000.
Flaunting Crime Trails on Social Media
Despite being involved in money laundering, M1llionz apparently made no effort to hide from the public. Instead, the cybercriminal has a long history of openly posting his actions. He frequently flaunted various bank and retail scams on his social media accounts. This bragging behavior ultimately left a crucial digital trail that led to the exposure of his money laundering route.
The exposure of this case has garnered significant attention from the crypto community. The investigative evidence published by ZachXBT generated high engagement, gathering 1,638 likes and 172 retweets. M1llionz’s money laundering trail underscores the fact that the blockchain is not only vulnerable to crypto scams, but is also increasingly being used to harbor dirty money from street-level crimes.
Filling the Gaps of Law Enforcement Failures
ZachXBT’s latest action also dispels speculation about the analyst’s declining participation in the crypto space. Some time ago, he threatened to refuse assistance to victims from seven countries following a terrible experience dealing with law enforcement bureaucracy. However, this spontaneous investigation into the French robbery serves as strong evidence that he is still actively monitoring the movement of criminal funds.
The rescue of the $93,000 further solidifies the crucial role of independent on-chain analysts. Working without compensation, ZachXBT has repeatedly proven his capacity to dissect complex transaction routes. His tracking often succeeds in piecing together evidence to hold criminals accountable, particularly in forensic areas where official law enforcement frequently fails to act.
