this story about Benjamin Mauerberger, a south african #crypto bro and card carrying member of the chinese #mafia who made so much money via #pigbutchering and other crypto scams that he managed to co-opt a large part of #Thailand's government (to say nothing of #Cambodia and #Myanmar) is nuts.
if you’re wondering about the dark forces driving the current war between thailand and cambodia, this is one of those forces.

if you're curious what's going on in the world of #Cambodia's cyberscam slave plantations with the actions against #PrinceGroup and #Huione by the US and UK governments, this is a good overview.

@brian_greenberg except the seized bitcoins were probably not the proceeds of #scams, they were bitcoins stolen from #LuBian a long time ago that were currently held by the same guy running the scams.

there's an old fashioned run on the bank currently underway at one of #Tether's biggest customers: Cambodia's infamous #Huione / #HuionePay / #HuioneWallet / #Xinbi.
According to TRM Labs Huione-linked wallets have received almost $100 billion #USDT since 2021. That’s roughly four nimitz class nuclear powered aircraft carriers worth of Tether’s USDT token.

the US finally moved on Prince Group, connected to Huione Guarantee, the world’s largest dark-ish market for fraud, drugs, weapons, slaves, etc. that operated out of Cambodia.
that’s another $14 billion worth of stolen crypto that will now sit in the hands of the U.S. government in the “strategic bitcoin reserve” instead of being repatriated to those who were defrauded.
one interesting detail i was surprised by was that Prince Group had a #NYC operation going. a detail i was not surprised by but didn't know about was that #Texas taxpayers have been subsidizing #pigbutchering fraud #moneylaundering.

a few weeks ago right before #Israel attacked #Iran #Tether froze a #Tron wallet that had over the course of a year managed to receive almost $2 billion, at least $1.2 bn of which came from #Binance (which historically did huge business in Iran).
there was only $2.5 million in the wallet at the time of the freeze but in terms of how much money flowed through it, it's the 4th highest volume wallet ever frozen.
based on the fact that another wallet frozen ca. the same time w/similar usage patterns turned out to be linkable to #Hezbollah, the govt of #Iran, and a dark market for nation state sized orders of weapons & #drugs (#HuionePay / #HuioneGuarantee), I have a hunch this wallet was also used by the #IRGC to fund its proxies in the region like the #Houthis and #Hezbollah and #Israel has chosen not to disclose that it was responsible for the seizure yet.

#MoneyLaundering with #cryptocurrency in #Cambodia
"Every few weeks, fireworks light up the night sky in Cambodia, set off by scammers to salute their biggest swindles.
"By the time the shells pop and crackle, somebody’s life savings are probably gone. Maybe the victim fell for an online romance scam or bought into a fake cryptocurrency exchange. Whatever the scheme, the money has vanished, sucked into a complex money-laundering network that moves billions of dollars at a dizzying speed."

ChainAlysis reports that crypto crimes are becoming broader and more complex. Noteworthy, is the emergence of large-scale on-chain services providing infrastructure supporting illicit actors with crypto-laundering.
The estimate for total crypto crime in 2024 is approx. $51B which represents 0.14% of total on-chain transaction volume. This is a slight decrease from 2023, and likely underestimates the true total. On average, crypto crime is increasing approx. 25% per year. 63% of all illicit transactions involve stablecoins. Scams involving Bitcoin (BTC) have deceased since 2021.
