“ All bitcoin transactions are added to a public ledger called the Blockchain, but the Blockchain identifies the parties to each transaction only by alpha-numeric identifiers known as bitcoin addresses.

The Conspirators used fictitious names and addresses in order to obscure their identities and their links to Russia and the Russian government. ”
