SUA vor să confiște 61 de milioane de dolari în criptomonede. Banii ar proveni din petrol iranian vândut Chinei

The U.S. is seeking to confiscate $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 in New York, claiming that the funds were intended for the Iranian government and military. The cryptocurrencies, held in USDT, will be blocked and replaced with new tokens for 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.
