Howdy folks,

🌐💍 Maximilien de Hoop Cartier, a purported member of the Cartier family, was arrested in a major drug and crypto money laundering bust.

Authorities in New York have charged him and his associates for laundering around $14.5 million in drug money, cleverly converted into cryptocurrencies to evade traditional banking checks.

This case underlines how high-profile incidents can shape public perception and potentially impact the broader crypto market.
