A Chinese organization accused of fentanyl precursor smuggling used a Japanese domain to issue a fake zksync.jp token that allegedly defrauded global investors of hundreds of millions of yen. According to NS3.AI, the token mimicked zkSync (ZK) but had no affiliation with the actual Ethereum Layer 2 project.

The report said the organization also carried out more than 120 cryptocurrency transactions with entities sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
