U.S. agencies form darknet task force to cut down on illicit crypto activities Crypto cryptocurrency IRS
- Amid the push to regulate the growing digital asset market, authorities in the U.S. have announced the official formalization of the Darknet Marketplace and Digital Currency Crimes Task Force .
“Since 2017, these federal partners have focused on darknet drug vendors and cryptocurrency-enabled crimes,” the release said. “Ever-evolving technology has allowed drug traffickers and other criminal actors to expand into the digital world and use the darknet to engage in their illegal activity. As these criminal activities and enterprises have become more sophisticated, law enforcement tools, resources, and intelligence have had to adapt.
The Attorney’s Office said there has been a notable rise recently in the use of both the standard internet and darknet to facilitate the illegal sale and distribution of narcotics, firearms and parts, technologies, Personal Identification Information , and other contraband – and digital currencies are increasingly being used to facilitate these activities.
“We’ve done great work with our federal partners in the dark web and crypto space,” said United States Attorney Gary Restaino. “This task force will enable us to continue the great collaboration with USPIS, DEA, IRS-CI and HSI, and I look forward to robust interdiction and prosecution efforts to deter digital crimes.”
