T3 Financial Crime Unit’s ’T3+’ Global Collaborator Program Goes Live – Binance Leads as First Member with $250M+ in Frozen Dirty Money
Law enforcement just leveled up its crypto crime-fighting game. The T3 Financial Crime Unit unveiled its 'T3+' Global Collaborator Program – and Binance snagged the first seat at the table. The exchange's compliance team must be popping champagne: over $250 million in illicit assets are already locked down.
Cuffs on Crypto Criminals
The initiative connects private sector heavyweights with investigators to track, freeze, and seize digital assets tied to fraud, money laundering, and sanctions evasion. Think of it as Interpol meets blockchain analytics – with teeth.
Why Binance? (Besides the Obvious PR Win)
The exchange's on-chain sleuthing tools and global reach make it a natural partner. Though cynics might whisper this helps offset past regulatory... let's call them 'learning opportunities.'
One thing's clear: when crypto's biggest players and law enforcement team up, the bad guys' odds just got worse. Much worse.
