🤣This can change everything🥴
In a police operation in the southern area of Santiago, Chile, a criminal operation was discovered that combined drug trafficking with cryptocurrency mining. During the intervention, illicit substances such as marijuana, ketamine and ecstasy were seized, in addition to finding a bitcoin mining farm in one of the bedrooms. This marked the first time in Chile that drug trafficking was directly linked to cryptocurrency mining, a phenomenon previously identified only in Europe. The investigation, known as "Lucerna", led to the arrest of several people in different phases of the operation.
This situation can have a significant impact on the crypto community in several aspects:
🚨Increased surveillance and compliance: Cryptocurrency exchange platforms may be forced to implement more rigorous surveillance and compliance measures to prevent their use in illegal activities.
🚨This could increase operational costs and complexity for legitimate merchants and users.
The association between drug trafficking and cryptocurrency mining may lead to increased regulatory attention and changes in public perception, which could influence the cryptocurrency industry and its market.
🚨Cryptocurrency traders should be attentive to regulations and be aware of the risks associated with these activities ileg@les.#blockchain
