美國特勤局決心追踪他，為導致他被捕或定罪的信息提供了有史以來最大的貨幣獎勵。

Denis Kulkov made off with millions in Bitcoin and 'an unknown amount through other payment systems' by running his fraudulent credit card checking site, Try2Check.

丹尼斯·庫爾科夫（Denis Kulkov）通過運營其欺詐性信用卡檢查網站Try2Check，用數百萬比特幣的比特幣和“未知金額”取得了成功。

Kulkov charged 14 cents per check, and splashed out on luxury items including a Ferrari with his earnings.

庫爾科夫每張支票收取14美分，並濺出豪華物品，包括法拉利的收入。

He even tried to set up systems to convert his cryptocurrency into 'fiat currency' - a government-issued currency not backed by a physical commodity like gold or silver - at a rate of $100,000 a month, investigator documents revealed.

調查員文件顯示，他甚至試圖建立系統，以將其加密貨幣轉換為“法定貨幣”（一種由金或白銀等實體商品支持的政府發行的貨幣 - 每月100,000美元。

How did Try2Check work?

Try2Check如何工作？

Launched in 2005, Try2Check allowed criminals to run batches of stolen card details and 'determine which stolen card numbers remained active' before selling the data on to other fraudsters.

Try2Check於2005年啟動，允許犯罪分子在將數據出售給其他欺詐者之前，允許犯罪分子運行盜竊卡的詳細信息，並“確定哪些被盜的卡號保持活躍”。

The platform - which shut down after a warrant for Kulkov's arrest was issued in April 2023 - ran tens of millions of credit card 'checks' per year, including more than 16 million in a nine-month period in 2018.

該平台 - 在2023年4月發布了庫爾科夫被捕的逮捕令後關閉 - 每年運行了數千萬信用卡“支票”，其中包括2018年的9個月內超過1600萬。

The Secret Service said the illegal platform not only victimized 'card issuers and holders' but also 'a major US-based payment processing company whose systems Try2Check misused to perform the card checks.'

特勤局說，非法平台不僅使“發卡和持有人”受害，而且“一家美國主要的付款加工公司，其係統try2check濫用了執行卡檢查。”
