Guochun He y Zheng Wang son los dos oficiales de inteligencia chinos acusados de obstruir a la justicia por supuestamente intentar sobornar a dos agentes de los Estados Unidos con US$61.000 en bitcoins. Seg?n la empresa de an?lisis Elliptic, los dos funcionarios usaron el mezclador de monedas Wasabi para intentar cubrir sus rastros.

“El an?lisis de Elliptic demuestra que todos los pagos en bitcoins de los agentes de inteligencia chinos para el soborno se hicieron desde la billetera Wasabi”, afirm? Elliptic.

Wasabi utiliza una controvertida tecnolog?a conocida como CoinJoin que mezcla bitcoins de varias transacciones para intentar ocultar su propiedad.

Elliptic ya hab?a logrado demostrar en el pasado que Wasabi fue usado para intentar lavar bitcoin (BTC) proveniente de hackeos de alto perfil de Twitter, como as? tambi?n de los exchanges Bitfinex y KuCoin.

Los dos oficiales chinos est?n acusados de intentar conseguir informaci?n confidencial en una investigaci?n federal sobre pr?cticas que llevar?a a cabo el gigante tecnol?gico Huawei Technologies.

En varias ocasiones se refirieron al uso de bitcoin como un m?todo “seguro” para realizar los pagos del soborno, seg?n la acusaci?n.
