Another great use case for #cryptocurrency:

Former #Canadian Olympic #snowboarder Ryan Wedding allegedly ran a large scale #cocaine smuggling operation from his home in #Mexico.

* Laundered $250 million via #crypto in just five months (probably billions of dollars overall)
* Murdered a bunch of people
* 16 people arrested all over the #USA
* Wedding himself is on the run, $50,000 reward for info
* This #DOJ indictment is apparently new or newly unsealed but he was indicted in #Canada a few years ago: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24393348-2021-05-a-2018-07165-royal-canadian-mounted-police
* "Operation Giant Slalom" proves the FBI has a sense of humor.

[UPDATE] countries named by #Vancouver Sun the first time he was arrested in 2009: https://www.pressreader.com/canada/vancouver-sun/20090502/281741265366587

* Russia (including the govt)
* Kazakhstan (including the govt)
* Iran

Crypto connection makes a lot more sense now...
