An investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has revealed that a firm related to the sanctioned crypto exchange Garantex has ties to a Moscow gang leader and the Kremlin-controlled entity Rosneft. The report, highlighted by journalists including Estonian investigative journalist Martin Laine (@Martinlaineolen), Matei Rosca (@mateirosca), and Tanya Kozyreva (@TanyaKozyreva), exposes how Garantex's takeover by individuals linked to security services and organized crime is fueling global illegal activities. The crypto exchange's dark money is reportedly supporting terror groups in the Middle East and the global drug trade, showcasing the broader issue of cryptocurrency's role in funding global crime, rogue regimes, and terrorists, as reported by Zachary (@Zachary) at the U.S. Treasury.

A Russian crypto firm, Garantex, was taken over by people tied to security services and organized crime. Now, its dark money fuels havoc worldwide — from terror groups in the Middle East to the global drug trade. This is how the axis of evil is funded.🧵 https://t.co/qyXSGsAPKW
