两大中文暗网市场每月涉嫌洗钱 20 亿美元
《连线》再次报道了活跃在 Telegram 上的中文加密货币暗网市场。今年早些时候在媒体报道之后,Telegram 封锁了当时最大的暗网市场好旺担保(Haowang Guarantee,aka 汇旺担保或 Huione Guarantee)和第二大市场新币担保。但几个月之后,根据加密货币追踪公司 Elliptic 的研究,目前最大的两个平台——土豆担保(Tudou Guarantee) 和新币担保(Xinbi Guarantee)——每月的洗钱规模仍然接近 20 亿美元。被称为杀猪盘的骗局通常在东南亚电诈园区进行,而电诈已发展成为全球最赚钱的网络犯罪形式。通过向电诈犯罪团伙出售洗钱服务和其它相关产品,土豆担保和新币担保的规模惊人。AlphaBay 曾是最大的暗网市场,是丝绸之路暗网市场鼎盛期的十倍,在其运营的两年半时间里交易额逾 10 亿美元。俄罗斯暗网市场 Hydra 在其运营的七年内交易额逾 50 亿美元。相比下,今年上半年被关闭的好旺担保在其运营的四年内交易额逾 270 亿美元。土豆担保与被关闭的好旺担保有关联,它取代了好旺担保的位置,目前每月交易额约 11 亿美元。新币担保在被打击后又重新上线,目前每月交易额约 8.5 亿美元。Telegram 拒绝对这些市场再次采取行动。 via Solidot
