Interesting research indicates interactions of cryptocurrency in support of human trafficking operations increased 85% year-over-year.

Further, this increase in cryptocurrency activity related to human trafficking is aligned with the growth of Southeast Asia based scam compounds, online casinos and gambling sites, and money laundering networks. https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/crypto-human-trafficking-2026/ #Crypto #CryptoCrime #CryptoCurrencies #HumanTrafficing #CSAM #SoutheastAsia #BlockChain #OnlineGambling #OnlineScams #MoneyLaundering #Crime #OnlineCrime #ChainAlysis

Integration with Government Systems: The platform is capable of filing Suspicious Activity Reports (#SARs) directly to #FinCEN (U.S. Treasury) and #FINTRAC (Canada), and integrates with blockchain analytics tools like #Chainalysis to monitor cryptocurrency addresses.

Suspicious Checks: Some checks, like "SelfieSuspiciousEntityDetection" and "SelfiePoseRepeatedDetection", lack clear definitions of what constitutes a "suspicious" face or repeated pose, raising concerns about bias and opacity.

This is a big deal. I’ve been telling y’all that age verification was just a way to gather intelligence.

Crypto Hacking = BIG Business!

Chainalysis reports that more than $3.4B in cryptocurrency has been stolen in 2025 (flat overall with 2024).

North Korea remains dominant crypto threat actor with North Korean hackers having a banner year pilfering ~ $2.02B, a 51% increase over last year.

While the total # of hacks is down, there has been a shift toward dramatically larger attacks, with the top three hacks accounting for 69% of losses. Individual wallet compromises jumped up to 158,000 incidents affecting 80,000 unique victims in 2025.

@tarnkappeinfo you realize this is just Binance propaganda right?

even #chainalysis, itself a fake provider of "#blockchain analytics" that really just exists to protect scammers, disowned Binance's recent "analysis" of crypto crime.

#RossUlbricht Got a $31 Million Donation From a #DarkWeb Dealer, #Crypto Tracers Suspect

Crypto-tracing firm #Chainalysis says the mysterious 300-bitcoin donation to the pardoned #SilkRoad creator appears to have come from someone associated with a different defunct black market: #AlphaBay.

"#Stablecoins remained the primary choice for #terrorist financing organizations" according to #TRMLabs (who have a questionable history as far as downplaying things like crypto's terrorist financing use cases but are at least more reliable than #Chainalysis)

and when they say "stablecoins" they really mean "#Tether on the blockchain (#Tron) owned by #Trump's new business partner #JustinSun".
