美国打击中国芬太尼贩运，瞄准加密货币参与

美国政府对涉及中国公司和个人的芬太尼贸易采取了重大行动。美国司法部 (DOJ) 宣布对芬太尼生产和分销相关指控，而美国财政部外国资产控制办公室 (OFAC) 已对与毒品交易相关的 28 个实体和 19 个加密货币地址实施制裁。在这些非法活动中使用加密货币一直是一个令人担忧的问题，司法部特别针对使用加密钱包进行与芬太尼和毒品交易相关的资金流动。

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

美国打击中国芬太尼交易，瞄准加密货币

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.

印度尼西亚雅加达 - 美国政府对芬太尼贩运发起了全面打击，涉及多家中国公司和个人的全面打击行动，也暴露了加密货币在促进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，美国司法部 (DOJ) 公布了一系列针对芬太尼生产、甲基苯丙胺合成和合成阿片类药物分销的 8 项起诉书，其中加密货币在这些邪恶活动的金融阴谋中扮演着重要角色。

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.

在一份严厉的起诉书中，司法部揭露了利用包括加密货币在内的多种支付方式来隐藏身份和消除交易痕迹的犯罪策略。加密货币的匿名性使得犯罪者能够在不暴露真实身份的情况下执行非法交易。

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.

美国司法部特别指控的个人包括河北盛豪进出口公司高管李青松和陈春辉。据称，这些人利用加密钱包转移与药品制造中使用的前体化学品相关的资金。

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关键人物张伟也因利用加密钱包进行涉及芬太尼前体和阿片类药物添加剂的交易而受到怀疑。

Treasury Department Sanctions Expand the Net

财政部制裁扩大网络

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).

作为司法部发起的法律攻击的补充，美国财政部外国资产控制办公室 (OFAC) 对一系列卷入毒品交易的实体实施了制裁。这些制裁涉及 19 个加密货币地址，涵盖比特币 (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.

虽然制裁总共针对 28 家公司和个人，但很大一部分加密地址与芬太尼和贩毒企业有关联的仅仅 5 个人有关。其中四个加密地址可追溯到 Valerian Labs，这是一家总部位于加拿大温哥华的公司。

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.

著名贩毒集团主谋杜长根也遭到了美国财政部的制裁。尽管长根亲自收到了加密货币，但他的个人加密地址显然没有出现在制裁名单中。

A Continuation of the War on Crypto-Enabled Drug Trafficking

打击加密毒品贩运战争的延续

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.

此次针对中国芬太尼公司的联合攻击标志着美国执法部门自 6 月开始的不懈行动的继续，凸显了加密货币在非法毒品交易中的普遍使用。区块链分析公司 Elliptic 此前曾于 2023 年 5 月发出警报，引发美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦 (Elizabeth Warren) 加强审查。

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.

美国政府已开始坚决遏制由加密货币推动的毒品贩运，旨在最大程度地减少对加密货币的利用。这种多方面的攻势证明了美国当局坚定不移地致力于摧毁非法毒品贸易和保护金融体系的完整性。
