Funny, right after 1100 crypto money launderers in China were arrested, nobody wanted any more Tethers. [1] Now my statements are entirely circumstantial, but I strongly suggest you watch this space.

> The public security ministry said that by Wednesday afternoon police had busted more than 170 criminal groups involved in using cryptocurrencies to launder money.

> China’s Payment & Clearing Association said on Wednesday that the number of crimes involving the use of virtual currencies is on the rise.

> Because cryptocurrencies are anonymous, convenient and global in nature, “they have increasingly become an important channel for cross-border money laundering,” the association said in a statement.

Sounds right to me.
