The DEA Seized $19 Million in Drug Money During an Undercover Operation, Some of Which Flowed into Cryptocurrency

BlockBeats News, August 20th, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) of the United States successfully infiltrated and took control of a Colombian drug trafficking group's money laundering network in an undercover operation that lasted over a decade, handling a total of approximately $19 million, some of which was transferred to a cryptocurrency account. The operation ultimately led to the indictment of two individuals involved in heroin trafficking.

Relevant documents show that in 2018, DEA undercover agents transferred $150,000 to a Coinbase account and exchanged it for over 13 bitcoins. Benefiting from the price surge, this portion of assets is currently valued at over $1.5 million. The Department of Justice is seeking to recover the related funds. (Forbes)
