The U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has issued a new advisory warning U.S. financial firms about the increasing use of cryptocurrencies in illicit drug trafficking.
美国财政部金融犯罪执法网络 (FinCEN) 发布了一项新的咨询警告,警告美国金融公司在非法毒品贩运中越来越多地使用加密货币。
This advice, which updates an advisory previously published in 2019, claims that Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Monero (XMR), and Tether (USDT) are involved in this illicit market.
该建议更新了 2019 年之前发布的建议,声称比特币 (BTC)、以太坊 (ETH)、门罗币 (XMR) 和 Tether (USDT) 参与了这个非法市场。
According to FinCEN, criminal organizations in Mexico are increasingly using these digital assets to purchase the raw materials needed to produce a powerful drug. The cartels reportedly purchase precursor chemicals and production equipment from China-based suppliers and pay for these transactions with the aforementioned cryptocurrencies.
据 FinCEN 称,墨西哥的犯罪组织越来越多地使用这些数字资产来购买生产强力药物所需的原材料。据报道,这些卡特尔从中国供应商购买前体化学品和生产设备,并用上述加密货币支付这些交易。
These payments usually arrive in Chinese suppliers' wallets hosted by various cryptocurrency companies, sometimes routed through a secondary money transmitter. This network of criminal organizations involved in drug production has become a major concern for US authorities.
这些付款通常到达由各种加密货币公司托管的中国供应商的钱包,有时通过二级货币传输器进行路由。这个涉及毒品生产的犯罪组织网络已成为美国当局的主要关注点。
The advisory follows several enforcement and criminal cases filed by US authorities against entities involved in such activities. In October, the U.S. Department of Justice charged eight companies with ties to China with the illegal drug production, distribution, and sale of precursor chemicals.
该建议是在美国当局针对参与此类活动的实体提起几起执法和刑事案件之后发布的。 10月,美国司法部指控八家与中国有联系的公司非法生产、分销和销售易制毒化学品。
The updated advisory is a stark reminder of the challenges posed by the anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies and their potential use in illegal activities.
更新后的公告明确提醒人们,加密货币的匿名性质及其在非法活动中的潜在用途所带来的挑战。
