Tether 正在转移到萨尔瓦多，在那里，它的稳定币不仅因其作为不良行为者的通用货币而闻名

Tether 表示，萨尔瓦多对 BTC 的拥护是其此举的部分原因，但众所周知，Tether 的高管——包括首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 和 iFinex 首席财务官/联合创始人 Giancarlo Devasini——与该国独裁总统 Nayib Bukele 关系密切。

Stablecoins Accounted for 63% of Illicit Blockchain Transaction Volume in 2024, Chainalysis Reports

Chainaanalysis 报告称，2024 年稳定币占非法区块链交易量的 63%

Blockchain data analysis firm Chainalysis has released a preview of its 2025 crypto crime report, revealing that stablecoins played a significant role in illicit transactions last year. According to the report, stablecoins accounted for an astonishing 63% of all illicit blockchain transaction volume in 2024.

区块链数据分析公司 Chainaanalysis 发布了 2025 年加密货币犯罪报告预览，揭示稳定币去年在非法交易中发挥了重要作用。报告称，2024 年稳定币占所有非法区块链交易量的比例高达 63%。

This statistic highlights the concerning use of stablecoins, particularly Tether (USDT), in a wide range of illegal activities. Despite its market dominance, stablecoins are largely unregulated, making them an attractive option for illicit actors seeking to avoid detection.

该统计数据突显了稳定币，特别是 Tether (USDT) 在各种非法活动中的使用情况。尽管稳定币在市场上占据主导地位，但它基本上不受监管，这使得它们成为寻求避免被发现的非法行为者的一个有吸引力的选择。

“Pig butchering" scams, which typically involve fraudsters posing as potential romantic partners to gain victims' trust and convince them to participate in cryptocurrency scams, emerged as one of 2024's most successful fraud and scam types. Notably, Tether is heavily linked to these scams.

“杀猪”诈骗通常涉及诈骗者冒充潜在的浪漫伴侣，以获取受害者的信任并说服他们参与加密货币诈骗，该诈骗已成为 2024 年最成功的诈骗和诈骗类型之一。值得注意的是，Tether 与这些诈骗密切相关。

In March 2024, a U.S. deputy district attorney handling several pig butchering cases in the Southern District of California highlighted the exclusive use of Tether in this type of scam. Speaking to Law360, the prosecutor stated, “When it comes to pig butchering, it’s always, always, always Tether. I’ve never heard of pig butchering that isn’t Tether.”

2024 年 3 月，一位处理加州南区多起生猪屠宰案件的美国副地方检察官强调，此类骗局中专门使用了 Tether。检察官在接受 Law360 采访时表示：“说到生猪屠宰，总是、总是、总是 Tether。我从来没有听说过不是 Tether 就能杀猪的。”

This statement underscores the concerning prevalence of Tether in illicit activities and the urgent need for closer examination and regulation of stablecoins to curb their use in the crypto underground.

该声明强调了 Tether 在非法活动中的普遍存在，以及迫切需要对稳定币进行更严格的审查和监管，以遏制其在地下加密货币中的使用。

Counterfeit Money Paradise: Cambodia's Huione Guarantee Offers Full Pig Butchering Service

假币天堂：柬埔寨Huione担保提供全程生猪屠宰服务

A U.S. Justice Department investigation and a subsequent VICE World News exposé in 2023 brought to light the activities of Huione Guarantee, an online marketplace in Cambodia that caters specifically to pig butchering scammers.

美国司法部的一项调查以及随后 2023 年 VICE 世界新闻的曝光揭露了 Huioneguarantee 的活动，Huioneguarantee 是柬埔寨的一个在线市场，专门为生猪屠宰诈骗者提供服务。

The marketplace offers a one-stop shop for everything a scammer needs, from burner phones and pre-written scripts to shock collars for the human slaves who are forced to operate the phones or computers used in these scams.

该市场为诈骗者提供了一站式商店，涵盖了诈骗者所需的一切，从一次性电话和预先编写的脚本，到被迫操作这些诈骗中使用的电话或计算机的人类奴隶的电击项圈。

Customers can choose from a variety of products, including different types of shock collars, each designed to administer varying levels of electric shock. According to the exposé, the collars are used on slaves who fail to meet performance targets or who attempt to escape.

客户可以选择各种产品，包括不同类型的电击项圈，每种产品都设计用于管理不同程度的电击。据曝光，项圈用于那些未能达到绩效目标或试图逃跑的奴隶。

Cambodia's lack of an extradition treaty with the United States and its weak enforcement of laws against online scams make it an ideal hub for pig butchering operations. However, the use of Tether (USDT) as the common currency in these scams has brought cryptocurrency’s role in illicit activities back into the spotlight.

柬埔寨与美国没有签订引渡条约，而且针对网络诈骗的法律执行不力，使其成为生猪屠宰活动的理想中心。然而，在这些诈骗中使用 Tether (USDT) 作为通用货币，使加密货币在非法活动中的作用重新成为人们关注的焦点。

While Tether has maintained its ability to freeze wallets containing USDT after they are flagged by law enforcement agencies—at least those that Tether deems to have sufficient muscle to cause problems down the road—what’s less laudatory is the fact that Tether appears to have had no knowledge of these illicit actors or their activities until the media shone their investigative flashlight on the problem.

虽然 Tether 仍然有能力在被执法机构标记后冻结含有 USDT 的钱包（至少是那些 Tether 认为有足够实力在未来引发问题的钱包），但不太值得称赞的是，Tether 似乎没有直到媒体对这个问题进行调查之前，人们才了解这些非法行为者或其活动。
