Edit: After making this post, this article has been significantly edited/redacted giving further credence to the idea that the existing information was leaked to the media and was intended to be almost completely under wraps.
Edit, edit: Some other articles with the original crypto amount that was listed on the article above:

While it hasn’t been announced yet, yesterday I was made aware that this bust is the Bohemia Admins and everything I have been able to verify has checked out, so I am confident enough in making this post.
Concerns now will be whether they still had market data stored after their exit scam, which will now have been seized or will be offered to law enforcement as part of a plea deal, considering they have seized crypto, its very likely they have also been given any remaining market data already.
The more pressing concern for me however, while I don’t want to speculate on anything, is how we have now had 3 separate market admin/teams busted within the space of a few months. This is going to open up a can of worms in terms of conspiracies, but I don’t believe this to be a coincidence unless they have had to sit on information for a long time / chose to and give the appearance of mass de-anonymization, given their “Operation End Game” warning earlier this year.
