Woofun AI reports that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida has ordered the seizure of approximately 90.319 BTC, 7,999.873 XMR, and minor holdings of XRP, XLM, and SOL, valued at roughly $8.37 million. The court also mandated the confiscation of real estate, vehicles, and boats belonging to Angelo Martino.

Martino, a former ransomware negotiation expert, sold his firm DigitalMint in April 2023 to collude with the BlackCat/ALPHV group. He provided hackers with confidential victim data, including insurance limits and negotiation strategies, facilitating the extraction of approximately $75.3 million in ransoms from U.S. targets.
