Hey Binance fam! 🚨
You won’t believe what’s going on behind the scenes of a sanctioned Russian exchange…
👀 Garantex, a crypto exchange under U.S. sanctions, just got $26M in $USDT frozen — but the story doesn’t end there. According to a new report from Global Ledger, the exchange still has over $15M in crypto actively moving across multiple chains. 🤯
🔍 What They Found:
💸 $8.6M in $ETH was routed through Tornado Cash (yes, the mixer 👻).
🪙 30+ BTC worth $3.1M quietly shifted chains, some of it to TRON, likely to access cheaper, faster USDT swaps.
🔒 On BNB Chain, $4M sits untouched—Tether can’t freeze assets there. No red button. 😶
🧠 Why it matters:
These movements expose a serious loophole in global crypto enforcement. Token freezes are cool on paper, but when funds get mixed, bridged, or moved to obscure chains, it’s game on for sanctioned players.
👉 Even $USDC was spotted in motion right before the freeze. Sneaky, right?

🧵 Bottom line:
Sanctions aren't the full stop they used to be. As long as there’s DeFi, mixers, and chain-hopping, bad actors will find a way. 🌐
💬 What do you think? Should blockchain bridges be regulated harder? Or is this just the wild west doing wild things?
