The Chinese encryption scales are cleansed – then saw it while rebuilding them

Before being dropped by Telegram, XINBI guarantee and guarantee guarantee similar functions that provide illegal services explicitly in all of these categories and more. Like a newly climbing Tudou warranty, other “warranty” markets have not sold the services directly, but instead provides the advantages of guarantee and deposits that prevent sellers from clients.

When Wired Telegram asked in May A report from Al -Alailji That focused on the criminal offers of the guarantee of Shinby, answered a telegram with a WidespreadShinby’s accounts were only banned, but Chinby’s accounts were blocked, but also at the expense of Hawang, which is the largest market that lasted for three years, enabled about $ 27 billion of transactions, and the fraud industry services were sold clear such as the rabies and killing used for the forced workers in the fraud vehicles.

In a statement sent to Wire at the time, Telegram Remi Vaughn wrote that “the societies that I previously reported by WIRED or included in the reports published by Al -Alailji, adding that” criminal activities such as fraud or money laundering are prohibited from Telegram service and always discovered. “

However, since then, Al -Alailji has continued to share its findings about the apparent money laundering activity in ten other markets, including the Tudou guarantee, in the Telegram Group, which included a TELEGRAM wireless correspondent. However, Telegram has not downloaded any of the Black Markets Elliptic allectization accounts. In fact, Xinbi guarantee was rebuilt in new accounts without even rename the brand. He did not face a new ban, although Telegram itself indicates that the market content violates the conditions of service.

In a WIRED statement, Telegram spokesman defended the company’s decision not to block the falling black markets. “The relevant channels often include users of China, as they often leave strict controls for citizens who choose only a little choice but to search for alternative ways to transfer money at the international level,” says the statement. “We evaluate the reports on the basis of each case separately and categorically reject the comprehensive ban-especially when users try to defraud the repressive restrictions imposed by authoritarian regimes. We are still unstable in our commitment to protecting the user privacy and defending basic freedoms, including the right to financial self-government.”

Robinson Al -Alailji rejects this argument. “We have searched for these markets nearly two years ago, and they are not about helping people achieve financial independence,” says Robinson. “These are the markets that facilitate money laundering in the first place of fraud returns and other illegal activity.”

Eren West, the former public prosecutor who is now leading the non -profit Shamrok operation, an organization that focuses on disrupting encryption fraud, stipulates that it is accused against Telegram simply. “These are the bad guys, and enable the bad man’s actions on the platform of the bad man,” says West. “They have the ability to close the fraud and human trafficking economy. Instead, they host Craigslist for encryption functions.”

Yaqoub Sims, a visiting colleague at the Asia Center at the University of Harvard, says the approach that seems inconsistent with prohibiting the encryption fraud may be the least related to its principles of “financial autonomy” more than an attempt not to run in the US government. In early May, the financial crime enforcement network in the US Treasury officially described Huione Group aThe basic anxiety for money launderingSims argues that the appointment, which directly indicated the guarantee of Haowang but not a Tudou guarantee, has stimulated Telegram to take action – and that it may take another similar step at the government level to push Telegram to act again.

“Ultimately, last month’s campaign shows how the sabotage telegram can be when it cooperates, but it also shows how quickly the fraudsters are adapted,” said Sims. “There is no real real guilt that technology companies have what is happening on their platform unless there is a specific issue that caught their attention from law enforcement. Thus, until it changes, I do not know what the incentive should be proactive.”
