美國打擊中國芬太尼販運，瞄準加密貨幣參與

美國政府對涉及中國公司和個人的芬太尼貿易採取了重大行動。美國司法部 (DOJ) 宣布對芬太尼生產和分銷相關指控，而美國財政部外國資產管制辦公室 (OFAC) 已對與毒品交易相關的 28 個實體和 19 個加密貨幣地址實施制裁。在這些非法活動中使用加密貨幣一直是一個令人擔憂的問題，司法部特別針對使用加密錢包進行與芬太尼和毒品交易相關的資金流動。

United States Cracks Down on Chinese Fentanyl Trading, Targeting Cryptocurrency Involvement

美國打擊中國芬太尼交易，瞄準加密貨幣

Jakarta, Indonesia - The United States government has launched a comprehensive assault on fentanyl trafficking, implicating multiple Chinese firms and individuals in a sweeping crackdown that has also exposed the clandestine role of cryptocurrencies in facilitating illicit transactions.

印尼雅加達 - 美國政府對芬太尼販運發起了全面打擊，涉及多家中國公司和個人的全面打擊行動，也暴露了加密貨幣在促進非法交易中的秘密作用。

On October 3, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) unveiled a barrage of eight indictments targeting fentanyl production, methamphetamine synthesis, and the distribution of synthetic opioids, with cryptocurrencies featuring prominently in the financial machinations of these nefarious operations.

10 月3 日，美國司法部(DOJ) 公佈了一系列針對芬太尼生產、甲基安非他命合成和合成阿片類藥物分銷的8 項起訴書，其中加密貨幣在這些邪惡活動的金融陰謀中扮演著重要角色。

In a scathing indictment, the DOJ laid bare the criminal tactics of exploiting diverse payment methods, including cryptocurrencies, to conceal identities and obliterate transaction trails. The anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies allowed perpetrators to execute illicit deals without exposing their true identities.

在嚴厲的起訴書中，司法部揭露了利用包括加密貨幣在內的多種支付方式來隱藏身分和消除交易痕蹟的犯罪策略。加密貨幣的匿名性使得犯罪者能夠在不暴露真實身份的情況下執行非法交易。

Among the individuals specifically implicated by the DOJ were Qingsong Li and Chunhui Chen, executives at Hebei Shenghao Import and Export Company. These individuals allegedly utilized crypto wallets to transfer funds related to precursor chemicals employed in drug manufacturing.

美國司法部特別指控的個人包括河北盛豪進出口公司高層李青松和陳春輝。據稱，這些人利用加密錢包轉移與藥品製造中使用的前驅化學品相關的資金。

Wei Zhang, a key figure within Hubei Guanlang Biotechnology Company, also fell under suspicion for leveraging crypto wallets to conduct transactions involving fentanyl precursors and opioid additives.

湖北冠浪生物科技公司關鍵人物張偉也因利用加密錢包進行涉及芬太尼前體和阿片類藥物添加劑的交易而受到懷疑。

Treasury Department Sanctions Expand the Net

財政部製裁擴大網絡

Complementing the legal assault spearheaded by the DOJ, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on an array of entities embroiled in the drug trade. These sanctions encompassed 19 cryptocurrency addresses, spanning Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and Tron (TRX).

作為司法部發起的法律攻擊的補充，美國財政部外國資產管制辦公室 (OFAC) 對一系列捲入毒品交易的實體實施了製裁。這些制裁涉及 19 個加密貨幣地址，涵蓋比特幣 (BTC)、以太坊 (ETH)、Tether (USDT) 和 Tron (TRX)。

While the sanctions targeted a total of 28 companies and individuals, a significant portion of the crypto addresses were linked to a mere five individuals affiliated with fentanyl and drug trafficking enterprises. Four of these crypto addresses were traced to Valerian Labs, a Vancouver, Canada-based company.

雖然制裁總共針對 28 家公司和個人，但很大一部分加密地址與芬太尼和販毒企業有關的僅 5 個人有關。其中四個加密地址可追溯到 Valerian Labs，這是一家總部位於加拿大溫哥華的公司。

Du Changgen, the reputed mastermind behind a drug syndicate, also incurred the wrath of the U.S. Treasury Department's sanctions. Although Changgen personally received cryptocurrencies, his personal crypto addresses were conspicuously absent from the sanctions list.

著名販毒集團主謀杜長根也遭到了美國財政部的製裁。儘管長根親自收到了加密貨幣，但他的個人加密地址顯然沒有出現在製裁名單中。

A Continuation of the War on Crypto-Enabled Drug Trafficking

打擊加密毒品販運戰爭的延續

This concerted assault on Chinese fentanyl companies marks a continuation of U.S. law enforcement's relentless campaign, which began in June, highlighting the pervasive use of cryptocurrencies in illicit drug transactions. Blockchain analysis firm Elliptic had previously sounded the alarm in May 2023, prompting heightened scrutiny from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.

這次針對中國芬太尼的聯合攻擊標誌著美國執法部門自 6 月開始的不懈行動的持續，凸顯了加密貨幣在非法毒品交易中的普遍使用。區塊鏈分析公司 Elliptic 先前曾在 2023 年 5 月發出警報，引發美國參議員伊麗莎白沃倫 (Elizabeth Warren) 加強審查。

The U.S. government has embarked on a resolute mission to curb drug trafficking fueled by cryptocurrencies, aiming to minimize their exploitation in nefarious activities. This multifaceted offensive serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment of U.S. authorities to dismantle the illicit drug trade and protect the integrity of the financial system.

美國政府已開始堅決遏制由加密貨幣推動的毒品販運，旨在最大程度地減少對加密貨幣的利用。這種多方面的攻勢證明了美國當局堅定不移地致力於摧毀非法毒品貿易和保護金融體系的完整性。
