Before they were taken down by Telegram, guaranteeing Xinbi and ensuring HaoWang displayed similar posts to provide clear illegal services in all those categories and more. Like ensuring new tudou, other markets of others did not sell direct services, but instead provided deposit and deposits to prevent customers from cheating customers.
When there is a cord asking electricity in May A report from elliptical Focusing on the criminal services of Xinbi guarantee, Telegram responded to one wide purification: It has banned not only of Xinbi's accounts but also those who ensure HaoWang, the market is much larger that has existed for three years, allowing about 27 billion dollars to trade and sell clear scams such as batons and shackles used to imprison forced workers in fraudulent compounds.
In a statement sent to Wired at the time, Telegram spokesman, Remi Vaughn wrote that the previous communities reported to us by Wired or put into reports published by Elliptic were all removed, and added that criminal activities such as being fraudulent or money laundering.
However, since then, Elliptic has continued to share his findings about money washing activities clearly in other ten markets, including Tudou Pural, in a Telegram group including a wired reporter and a Telegram spokesman. However, the Telegram did not remove any account related to Black markets that was brightened. In fact, Make sure Xinbi has been rebuilt at new accounts without branding. It is still not faced with new account ban, although Telegram itself says the content of the market has violated its service terms.
In a statement with Wired, a Telegram spokesman for the company's clear decision did not prohibit the black market recovery. The channels are mainly related to users from China, which controls rigid capital that often make citizens choose less options in addition to finding alternative roads for moving funds on an international scope. “We evaluate reports on the basis of each case and refuse to classify special ban on blankets when users are trying to break oppressive restrictions due to the authoritative regime.
Elliptic's Robinson rejected that argument. We have studied these markets for nearly two years and they are not to help people gain financial autonomy, according to Mr. Robinson Robinson. These are the main markets that facilitate money laundering for the money collected of fraud and other illegal activities. “
Erin West, a former prosecutor currently leading the Shamrock non -profit campaign, an organization focused on breaking the cryptocurrency fraud activities, saying that her accusation against Telegram simpler. These are bad guys, allowing bad business on their bad guys, West West argued. They are capable of closing a fraudulent economy and trading people. Instead, they are organizing Craigslist for cryptocurrency scammers.
Jacob Sims, a member of the Asian Center of Harvard University, said that the approach seems inconsistent in banning the black market Crypto-Scam may be less related to its financial autonomy principles rather than trying not to run AFoul of the US government, Jacob Sims, a visit to the Asian Center of Harvard University. In early May, the US Treasury's financial crime enforcement network officially labeled Huione Group AThe main interest in money laundering. “Sims argues that the indication, is directly mentioned to the guarantee of Haoowang but not Tudou guaranteed, may have promoted Telegram to take action and can perform another similar move at the government level to promote Telegram to action again.
Finally, the persecution last month showed how the telegram could be disturbed when cooperating, but it also showed how fast the scammers would adapt, Sims Sims said. There is no real legal ability that technology companies have for what happens on their platform unless there is a specific case that makes them pay attention by the law enforcement agency. And so, until I change, I don't know they have to take the initiative.
Update at 2:30 pm ET, June 23, 2025: Clarify the time in it to ensure Haoowang has about 296,000 users.
