On December 18th, Argentine authorities successfully cracked a large-scale fraud and money laundering case involving cryptocurrencies, involving more than 1.80 trillion Argentine pesos (about 1.20 billion US dollars), and the main victims were agricultural enterprises. The criminal organization opened an account in a bank by falsifying documents, transferred the funds to the cryptocurrency trading platform immediately after obtaining the loan, and then converted it into virtual assets and transferred it to digital wallets. In order to cover up the traces of the operation, the organization used third-party personnel to simulate cryptocurrency arbitrage transactions. Investigations revealed that none of the persons involved were registered in the registration system of virtual asset service providers required by the National Securities Commission of Argentina.
