Dirty Money

Chinese organized crime networks just got busted for laundering a whopping $16 billion in crypto in 2025. That’s right, $16 billion – it’s a number that’s hard to wrap your head around.

The Report

A recent report dropped this bombshell on Tuesday, and let’s just say it’s not exactly a surprise. We’ve known for a while that crypto’s been a favorite tool for crooks looking to clean their dirty cash. But $16 billion? That’s a whole new level of dirty.

It’s not like China’s been doing much to stop it, either. Corruption’s a major problem over there, and it’s clear that organized crime’s got some pretty deep pockets. Don’t expect them to get caught anytime soon, either – these guys are pros at covering their tracks.

So what’s the takeaway from all this? It’s simple: crypto’s still the wild west, and it’s going to take a lot more than a few regulations to clean it up. Until then, expect to see more stories like this – and probably a lot worse.
