Dismantling of BidenCash, a Stolen Credit Card Marketplace

The United States and the Netherlands have seized the infrastructure of this popular darknet platform.

Authorities from the United States and the Netherlands announced on June 4, 2025, that they had dismantled BidenCash, a darknet marketplace specializing in stolen credit cards. Active since 2022, the platform used the name and image of former U.S. President Joe Biden. It sold stolen credit card numbers, compromised login credentials, and various personal information.

“Between October 2022 and February 2023, the BidenCash marketplace freely published 3.3 million stolen credit cards to promote the use of its services,” stated a U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) press release. At its peak, the site had over 117,000 users.

The joint operation by U.S. and Dutch law enforcement also led to the seizure of cryptocurrencies. The DoJ and FBI have not commented on potential arrests.
