POPA ReconTron, Tether and Chainalysis launched the Digital Crime Task Force on Nov 12 to identify and disrupt illicit activity with USDT on Tron, according to @justinsuntron.
It targets AI-enabled crime and aims to move faster from detection to freezing of funds, according to @NewsTongueX.
The focus is illicit USDT activity on Tron, including investment scams, hacks, terrorism financing and North Korean-linked activity, with shared intelligence and law enforcement cooperation, according to @wublockchain12.
Tether says it has already frozen over $7 billion in USDT across 73 countries, a total figure for its enforcement work, not only Tron, according to @CoinLab_news.
The new group replaces the T3 Financial Crime Unit set up in 2024 by Tron, Tether and TRM Labs, which has now been dissolved after reports of slow response and coordination problems, according to @NewsTongueX.
