SUA vor să confiște 61 de milioane de dolari în criptomonede

The U.S. is seeking to seize $61 million in cryptocurrencies linked to Iranian oil sales on the black market. Prosecutors allege that Iran used intermediaries in China to launder money from illegal oil sales. A civil complaint was filed to confiscate these funds, which are believed to support hostile military actions. The cryptocurrencies are held in USDT, and Tether will block and replace them, transferring the new tokens to U.S. custody. Two Chinese companies are implicated in the laundering scheme, using Binance accounts to facilitate transactions. The U.S. has warned financial institutions against dealing with Chinese refineries processing Iranian oil.
