>D.A. Bragg Announces Takedown of Dark Web Cryptocurrency Drug Trafficking Ring That Laundered $7.2 Million

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., today announced the indictment of NAN WU, 35, and four accomplices for operating a dark web marketplace that shipped more than 10,000 packages of cocaine, MDMA, Ketamine and other substances to customers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. As alleged, WU; PENG PENG TANG, 30; BOWEN CHEN, 38; and ZIXIANG LIN, 22; together operated the dark web vendor “FireBunnyUSA,” and laundered $7.2 million, including over $3.1 million in proceeds, through cryptocurrency exchanges. They were assisted by KATIE MONTGOMERY, a United States Postal Service employee, who provided advice about importing drugs into the United States and checked on the status of packages.

Of note: these geniuses were apparently also accepting Monero and then "laundering" it by converting it to BTC and cashing out on KYC exchanges! Pic related.
