He said criminals are acting like "they can commit crimes with impunity by going dark."
Sessions said he hopes Cazes's arrest will send a clear message that there is nowhere for criminals to hide.
A California indictment said Cazes had amassed a fortune of $23 million, including a small fortune in digital currency.
The indictment said he spent the money on real estate, luxury cars and the pursuit of "economic citizenship" in Liechtenstein, Thailand and Cyprus, reported The Associated Press.
