The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued an anti-fraud alert impersonating its official website.

PANews reported on December 12 that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) issued a fraud prevention notice, stating that recent inquiries from the public have revealed fraudulent websites impersonating the HKMA logo, guiding users to trade cryptocurrencies or central bank digital currencies, and even requiring advance tax payments before withdrawals, which are all scams.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) solemnly declares that it will not proactively contact citizens to handle financial matters, nor will it request any form of transfer or payment.

US Department of Justice: French Citizen Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison for Laundering Over $470 Million Through Shell Companies and Crypto Accounts. This headline is good, concise and clear. Here is the full news brief using this headline: According to a statement from the US Department of Justice, a French citizen has been sentenced to eight years in prison for laundering over $470 million through shell companies and crypto accounts. Maximilien de Hoop Cartier, a French citizen of Argentine descent, operated an unlicensed over-the-counter cryptocurrency exchange since 2018, controlling a large network of US shell companies. He falsely claimed to banks that his business was software publishing and development, while actually converting cryptocurrency into hard currency and transferring it through the US to criminal organizations in countries such as Colombia. Cartier admitted to operating an unlicensed money transfer business and admitted to misrepresenting the nature of his business to banks. After his accounts were seized in 2021, Cartier provided federal agents with falsified records, falsely claiming he was applying for a money transfer license, resulting in the return of some of the seized funds. Cartier was also ordered to forfeit approximately $2.36 million in commissions and related shell company accounts.
