Andrew Tate’s Crypto Wallets Linked to $30 Million Laundering Scheme
Blockchain investigators have traced $1.2 million from a Texas investment fraud case to cryptocurrency wallets associated with controversial influencer Andrew Tate. The funds represent a fraction of the $30 million allegedly funneled through Railgun privacy pools connected to Tate's entities.
Forensic analysis reveals sophisticated obfuscation techniques, including cross-chain transfers and privacy protocol utilization. The 0x9B67 wallet, identified as a Tate-controlled address, received direct inflows from wallets implicated in the Texas scam.
This pattern emerges amid broader regulatory scrutiny of celebrity crypto promotions. Tate's alleged market manipulation tactics—using coordinated wallet activity to artificially boost token prices—reflect growing concerns about influencer-driven pump-and-dump schemes in digital asset markets.
