British Columbia Officials, RCMP Issue Warning To International Crypto “Money Mules”
The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have issued a warning to ten B.C. residents over their alleged involvement in international crypto fraud schemes, the officials revealed in a press conference Monday.
According to both the RCMP’s Integrated Marketing Enforcement Team (IMET) and the BCSC, officials hand-delivered the warnings on May 29. Authorities allege that the unnamed residents assisted in criminally moving funds related to digital assets internationally, effectively making them crypto “money mules.”
“We are going to identify individuals who are clearly showing the intent and knowledge as it relates to their activity, which is going to be required in order to be able to substantiate a charge and ultimate conviction in criminal court,” RCMP Superintendent Adam Macintosh said.
