Money from bank hacks rarely gets laundered through cryptocurrencies

SWIFT: "Identified cases of laundering through cryptocurrencies remain relatively small compared to the volumes of cash laundered through traditional methods."

Despite being considered a cybercrime haven, cryptocurrencies play a very small role in laundering funds obtained from bank hacks; the SWIFT financial organization said in a report last week.

"Identified cases of laundering through cryptocurrencies remain relatively small compared to the volumes of cash laundered through traditional methods," said SWIFT, the organization that runs the SWIFT inter-bank messaging system used by almost all banks across the world to wire funds across borders.

These traditional methods include the use of money mules, front companies, cash businesses, and investments back into other forms of crime, such as drug trade or human trafficking.

Haveno

https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno

Private and decentralized way to #exchange #Monero for national currencies or other #cryptocurrencies. Haveno uses peer-to-peer networking and multi-signature escrow to facilitate trading without a trusted third party custodian. Disputes can be resolved using non-custodial arbitration. Everything is built around Monero and Tor.

Haveno is the Esperanto word for "Harbor". The project is stewarded by a core Team, currently formed by 2 people: ErCiccione and Woodser. See the FAQ in the wiki for more information about the project
https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/wiki/FAQ

Haveno is still work in progress. There are no binaries available at this stage. If you want to test Haveno you have to compile it first (see https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/blob/master/docs/installing.md).

Status of the project
At the moment Haveno is only a Proof of Concept. It's already possible to initiate crypto <-> XMR and fiat <-> XMR trades, but the platform still needs a lot of work before being available for public use.
