The T3 Financial Crime Unit, a collaboration between Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs, has frozen 100 million USDT linked to illicit activities.
The Tron -led T3 Financial Crime Fighting Unit, which also includes TRM Labs and Tether, recently hit a milestone of 100 million frozen USDT on Tron targeting a variety of bad actors. The unit, a collaboration between the Tron blockchain, stablecoin issuer Tether and blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs, said it has frozen a total of 100 million of Tether's USDT used by illicit actors since the unit was formed.
The venture analyzed millions of transactions spanning five continents, monitoring a total volume in excess of 3 billion USDT, the largest stablecoin, T3 said in a statement. T3 involves TRM Labs using its blockchain intelligence and monitoring tools to help Tron and Tether identify and freeze USDT linked to illicit activities.Money laundering as a service — where bad actors hire entities on the dark web to clean illict funds — is the largest source of frozen funds, said Chris Janczewski, head of global investigations at TRM Labs. Investment scams, illicit drugs, terrorism financing, blackmail scams, hacks, exploits and even violent crime have also been targets, he said in an interview with CoinDesk. 'Blockchain is a bad place to do money laundering because it's so transparent. We can confirm victim reports on a public blockchain and even identify other victims, a level of insight that just isn't possible with traditional finance,' Janczewski said.'Ultimately, we hope that through our efforts, not only will victims recover their funds, but bad actors will think twice before engaging in illicit activity on blockchains like Tron,' Janczewski said.
