Cartier jewelry heir arrested for using USDT to launder money

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has charged and arrested an inheritor of Cartier jewelry on charges of using USDT for money laundering. In Miami, law enforcement arrested Maximilien de Hoop Cartier, a direct descendant of the founder of luxury watch, necklace, and bracelet maker Louis Cartier, who is alleged to have colluded with a Colombian drug trafficking group. Cartier and five Colombian nationals attempted to import 100 kilograms of cocaine and launder billions of dollars, mostly through over-the-counter (OTC) USDT transactions. They had actually successfully laundered $14.5 million before being arrested. Cartier is currently being held in detention in Miami, while his accomplices are being held in Colombian prisons.
