Bitcoin Magazine reports that Tether and Tron dissolved their T3 Financial Crime Unit in late August, just two months prior to the $6.3 billion Binance hack. The unit had previously claimed to have frozen over $450 million in illicit USDT across 23 jurisdictions. This raises questions about the timing and potential implications of the unit's closure in relation to the hack.
