The Sentry calls for an investigation into conflict-gold routes linking the DRC to Ugandan networks and sanctions for those laundering it for the ADF

In its investigation, “Gold-Backed Brutality,” The Sentry urges the UN, the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union to investigate supply chains connecting eastern DRC to Ugandan gold-trading, refining and export networks. It calls for identifying traders, intermediaries, refiners, exporters and financial facilitators who knowingly or negligently help launder gold for the ADF, so they can be considered for sanctions. The organization says military pressure has displaced the group rather than dismantled it and recommends long-term civilian strategies, including helping communities resolve local conflicts exploited by the ADF.

Crypto giant Binance hit by $6.3bn hack suspected to be largest in history

Binance says digital assets worth $6.3bn were affected by a hack that may be the largest in history. The exchange says about half the assets have been frozen, while hackers still hold much of the stolen funds; Binance has pledged to cover all losses and disabled withdrawals. TRM Labs and Chainalysis say the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor may be linked to the attack, which early checks suggest could have involved a compromised engineer’s laptop. Tether and Circle have frozen about $2.4bn in assets, and Binance says it is working with law enforcement.
