ZachXBT reveals AML Bot was abused by criminals to help evade compliance trackin

According to ZachXBT, AML Bot, an anti-money laundering tool, has long been used by criminal organizations to evade address tracking, and weak internal controls have become a source of vulnerabilities. For example, in the case of the Genesis creditor theft in 2024, attackers used AML Bot to evade freezing; in 2025, the ransomware group BlackBasta recommended the tool for address verification; Krebs blog also revealed that its customers include the dark web tool Antinalysis. Previously, the blockchain forensics company AMLBot released a report pointing out that the Tether freezing mechanism was exposed to a delay, which has caused more than 78 million US dollars of assets to be stolen.
