Singapore witnessed one of its largest crackdowns on money laundering last month. 400 police officers coordinated raids throughout the city-state, detaining 10 foreigners.
These individuals allegedly were "laundering the proceeds of their overseas organised crime activities, including scams and online gambling".
The seizures were significant, totaling $1.76 billion, with cryptocurrencies accounting for nearly $30 million.
The operation also led to the confiscation of 68 gold ingots, 110 real estate holdings, and 62 cars.
Sketches released provide a look at those under suspicion.

Mark Karpeles: "All I Had Was a Simple Calculator!"
The former MT. Gox CEO shared a remarkable story. After his 2015 arrest, he faced a daunting task: sifting through 20,000 pages of evidence using just a basic accounting calculator he bought for $120 from the prison commissary. "I'd spend the next couple of months going through the accounting information provided by the prosecution, and managed to find some 5.5 million USD worth of revenue that wasn't accounted for. Suddenly, the argument raised by the prosecution didn't make sense," commented Mark Karpeles. This simple calculator changed the game. After nearly a year in custody, he was granted bail and, two years later, fully cleared of charges. South Korea Requires Crypto Companies To Disclose Holdings
In a bid to enhance transparency in the realm of virtual asset transactions, South Korea has implemented new regulations that mandate crypto companies to disclose their holdings. The companies are now obliged to provide comprehensive information encompassing the quantity, characteristics, business models, and accounting policies associated with the trading of digital currencies. Paxos will be unaffected. Things go worse for Binance
Markus Thielen, Head of Research at Matrixport, believes that the SEC is not targeting stablecoins. The charge against Paxos is indirect. The regulators are planning an attack on Binance, which stored customer funds in the same wallet with its collateral for some in-house tokens.
The regulations require that exchanges' corporate assets must be recorded in separate accounts and cannot form part of the proof-of-reserves calculations.
That's simple: Binance cannot confirm its BUSD reserves. Paxos Trust Company, which is the only issuer of the exchange's stablecoin, serves as a witness in this case, not a defendant.
Has CZ fallen into curly-haired Sam’s trap by mixing up customers' wallets with his own? We find it hard to believe. Hopefully, his accounting skills are way better.
