U.S. authorities confiscated over $10 million in cryptocurrency tied to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel during a multi-state operation centered in Miami. The undeclared crypto assets were seized alongside 44 million fentanyl pills and thousands of pounds of narcotics in a nationwide sweep targeting cartel financial networks.
