🚨 US cracks down on Sinaloa Cartel's crypto laundering network — 11 sanctioned, 6 Ethereum addresses blacklisted. The scheme was simple but effective: 💵 Collect bulk fentanyl cash in the U.S. 🔄 Convert to USDT/USDC via OTC brokers 📤 Transfer back to cartel leadership in Mexico On-chain tracing revealed funds flowing through Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken, with one address alone handling $1.7M+ in USDT. Multi-wallet fragmentation was used to obscure the trail. For VASPs: cartel-linked crypto risk is a live compliance threat. AML screening must look beyond direct SDN hits — exposure can sit 1–2 hops away. #Crypto #AML #Blockchain(Beosin 🛡 Web3 Security & Compliance)
