：Drug cartels are using cryptocurrencies for money laundering, posing severe challenges to the industry 🚨
According to a recent investigation by Bloomberg, a vast "gray" intermediary network is emerging within the United States, helping drug cartels launder millions of dollars through cryptocurrencies. Criminals are turning to more liquid and anonymous means to evade regulation.
Criminal methods revealed:
📍 Cash for cryptocurrencies: Transactions typically occur in secret meetings in parking lots or through encrypted messaging apps.
📍 Involved currencies: Mainly using Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and Monero (Monero) and other anonymous coins.
📍 No KYC verification: A core feature is the complete lack of checks on the source of funds, bypassing any identity verification.
Law enforcement officials warn that resources and tools to combat this type of "decentralized" criminal ecosystem are severely lacking. This again underscores the importance of compliance management and regulation for large exchanges.
For compliant users, this is an important signal: the security of your assets is directly related to the purity of the platform. Collaborating with unverified P2P trading partners outside of licensed platforms not only carries the risk of asset freezing but may also inadvertently make you a link in the criminal chain.
Please ensure to protect your funds and choose a transparent and compliant trading environment!🛡
