According to CoinMeta, multiple Thai departments have joined forces to crack down on the use of amulet trading and cryptocurrency money laundering. Chalong, the deputy director and spokesperson of the Thai Immigration Bureau, stated that cross-border amulet trading is being exploited as a channel for money laundering, with illicit gains being disguised as legitimate income through amulet transactions, fake auctions, temple rentals, and peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transfers. Thai anti-money laundering agencies, the Central Investigation Bureau, cyber police, the Department of Business Development, the Taxation Department, and customs, among others, have collaborated to launch a cross-departmental crackdown to strengthen monitoring of cryptocurrency transactions.
