印度诈骗者使用 Tether (USDT) 洗钱非法资金

在印度拉贾斯坦邦，网络犯罪分子因使用 Tether (USDT) 洗钱非法资金而被捕。越来越明显的是，稳定币在数字诈骗中越来越受欢迎。

Cybercriminals in Rajasthan, India, have been caught using Tether (USDT) to launder illegal funds, highlighting the increasing use of stablecoins in digital scams.

印度拉贾斯坦邦的网络犯罪分子被发现使用 Tether (USDT) 洗钱非法资金，这凸显出稳定币在数字诈骗中的使用越来越多。

Local authorities apprehended some money mules who were involved in converting more than INR 1 crore (around $115,546) into USDT before sending it abroad to cybercriminals in Dubai and France.

地方当局逮捕了一些钱骡，他们将超过 1 千万印度卢比（约合 115,546 美元）兑换成 USDT，然后将其发送给迪拜和法国的网络犯罪分子。

The scammers earned money through “digital arrest” scams, where they tricked unsuspecting people into sending money, said Superintendent of Police Arshad Ali. The local mules were then responsible for converting the scam money into USDT and transferring them to international crypto exchanges.

警察局长阿尔沙德·阿里表示，诈骗者通过“数字逮捕”骗局赚钱，他们欺骗毫无戒心的人汇款。然后，当地的骡子负责将诈骗资金转换成 USDT，并将其转移到国际加密货币交易所。

In the latest development, three active participants, identified as Nitesh, Divanshu, and Ankush, were arrested by Hanumangarh cyber police for their involvement in the money laundering process. The police arrested them with some mobile phones and SIM cards.

在最新进展中，三名活跃参与者，即 Nitesh、Divanshu 和 Ankush，因参与洗钱过程而被 Hanumangarh 网络警察逮捕。警察逮捕了他们，并携带了一些手机和SIM卡。

According to the authority, this trio helped launder almost ₹1 crore into Tether (USDT), making the stolen money nearly impossible to trace.

据当局称，这三人帮助将近 1 千万卢比洗入 Tether (USDT)，使得被盗资金几乎无法追查。

Mobile phones and SIM cards were confiscated by the police during arrests. The gangsters, in fact, have been using the resources available in the locality like ATM cards, mobile phones, and bank accounts to further the scheme. Authorities suspect that the masterminds of this cross-border operation are based in Dubai and France.

警方在逮捕过程中没收了手机和SIM卡。事实上，歹徒一直在利用当地可用的资源，如 ATM 卡、手机和银行账户来推进这一计划。当局怀疑这次跨境行动的主谋来自迪拜和法国。

Tether, the biggest stablecoin, has become a favorite coin of criminals due to its liquidity, stability, and pseudo-anonymity. The stablecoin will face higher-level scrutiny and regulation when users use it to launder money. Recently, Tether stepped up its mechanism against money laundering.

Tether 作为最大的稳定币，因其流动性、稳定性和伪匿名性而成为犯罪分子最喜欢的币种。当用户使用稳定币进行洗钱时，该稳定币将面临更高级别的审查和监管。近期，Tether 加强了反洗钱机制。

In May 2024, Tether announced a partnership with Chainalysis to monitor secondary market activities and identify suspicious transactions. Tether also partnered with TRM Labs and the blockchain network Tron to establish the T3 Financial Crime Unit, which monitors illegal activities involving USDT on the Tron network.

2024 年 5 月，Tether 宣布与 Chainaanalysis 建立合作伙伴关系，以监控二级市场活动并识别可疑交易。 Tether 还与 TRM Labs 和区块链网络 Tron 合作建立了 T3 金融犯罪部门，负责监控 Tron 网络上涉及 USDT 的非法活动。

Such increased utilization of Tether for cybercrime becomes pretty difficult for law enforcement agencies who look forward to cracking down on cryptocurrency fraud. Moreover, the case also brings about tighter regulatory and supervision standards in the crypt space that may cut down on malpractices.

对于希望打击加密货币欺诈的执法机构来说，越来越多地使用 Tether 进行网络犯罪变得相当困难。此外，该案还带来了加密货币领域更严格的监管和监督标准，这可能会减少不当行为。
