The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned an Ethereum wallet associated with the Mexican individual Jimenez Castro. According to the list published on the OFAC website, Castro is one of the 10 names listed as part of the anti-drug operation.
Data from Arkham shows that the implicated wallet became active in January this year, and within two months, it received deposits totaling approximately $740,000 on Binance. A press release from the U.S. Department of the Treasury stated that the money laundering organization operated by Jimenez Castro used virtual currencies and wire transfers to transfer proceeds from the illegal sale of fentanyl in the United States to the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico. |
