According to Foresight News, Cointelegraph reported that the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized more than $10 million in cryptocurrencies related to the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel in a joint operation in Miami, Florida. The seizure is part of the United States' nationwide crackdown on drug trafficking. DEA Acting Director Robert Murphy said they are gradually dismantling these criminal networks. The Sinaloa drug cartel is one of the six Mexican "terrorist" drug trafficking organizations identified by the US government, mainly engaged in the distribution of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine.
