PANews, June 24 - According to Cryptoslate, Elliptic released a report stating that although the Huione Guarantee platform in Cambodia was shut down on May 13 due to its involvement in a $27 billion pig butchering scam, dark market transactions on Telegram have not decreased. Data shows that merchants quickly shifted to the competitor platform Tudou Guarantee, in which Huione holds a 30% stake, and the USDT inflow to that platform has returned to levels seen before Huione's shutdown. On-chain data indicates that after the ban was implemented, Huione's USDT inflow dropped to nearly zero, while the user count on Tudou Guarantee more than doubled, with inflows comparable to those before Huione's closure.
