A Chinese criminal group involved in fentanyl precursor exports to the U.S. also ran a cryptocurrency scam in Japan, issuing a fake token called zksync.jp. The scam used a domain resembling a Japanese payment service to trick investors, resulting in losses of millions of dollars. The group, connected to Chinese chemical firm Hubei Amarvel Biotech and drug traffickers, likely used the scheme to launder money from drug sales. Authorities continue to investigate ties between drug trafficking and crypto fraud, with the U.S. offering a $5 million reward for a key leader's capture.
