【The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Handles $19 Million in Drug Trafficking Funds During Undercover Operation, Some of Which Flowed into Cryptocurrency】Golden Finance reports that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) successfully infiltrated and controlled the money laundering network of Colombian drug trafficking organizations during an undercover operation lasting over a decade, handling a total amount of approximately $19 million, with some of the funds transferred to cryptocurrency accounts. 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, which have now appreciated to a value exceeding $1.5 million. The Justice Department is seeking to recover the relevant funds. (Forbes)
