Security vulnerabilities within the anti-money laundering (AML) tool AML Bot are being exploited by criminal organizations to evade asset tracking, according to reports from PANews and other sources. ZachXBT has revealed that criminals have leveraged these weaknesses in AML Bot’s internal controls to bypass address tracking, potentially facilitating illicit activities like the 2024 Genesis creditor theft case where attackers used AML Bot to circumvent asset freezes and the 2025 ransomware group BlackBasta recommending the tool for address verification. In addition, previous reports by AMLBot have shed light on delays in Tether’s freezing mechanism which resulted in over $78 million in stolen assets.
