U.S. prosecutors have indicted the operators of the Costa Rica-based digital currency exchange Liberty Reserve with helping criminals to launder more than $6 billion.

Many are calling the case one of the largest money-laundering busts of all time.

The illicit funds are linked to everything from child pornography to online pharmacies.
