🥷How does dirty crypto get into your #wallet🔥 ?
🔄Fraudsters hide the transaction history of cryptocurrency in various ways. For example, they use mixers - services that divide the funds into small parts and mix them randomly with coins of other users. After mixers, it's much harder to trace the origin of the currency. Running crypto through anonymous wallets and decentralized exchanges can also confuse the trail and complicate the task of analysts.
⚠️While most major exchanges use KYC (Know Your Client) and AML systems for protection, it's impossible to get a 100 percent guarantee of security. If you trade on a DEX (Decentralized Exchange) such as Uniswap, Apex Pro or DYDX, the risk is even greater. Such exchanges do not use KYC system, anonymity attracts fraudsters. Therefore, analytical services mark funds from such exchanges as high risk. If you do not check your counterparties and your wallet, you can get dirty cryptocurrency even in exchanges and p2p platforms.
🤝You can even get dirty, funds from an acquaintance who is probably not involved in #criminals activity. He could get this cryptocurrency by making a transaction without security checks and afterwards pass it on to you. Unwittingly, your wallet could get painted as risky.
