According to a survey by *Nikkei Asia*, a Chinese fentanyl precursor chemical supply network has been found to have financial ties to cryptocurrency scams and money laundering activities. The investigation revealed that during its operation through a Japan-affiliated company, Firsky, the network conducted over 120 cryptocurrency transactions with addresses linked to multiple financial fraud groups and entities under U.S. sanctions. Among them, a fake token project called 'zksync jp' is suspected of exploiting the name of Ethereum Layer 2 network ZKsync to carry out scams, resulting in losses worth hundreds of millions of yen.
