Summary

On-chain analyst Specter reported that Andrew Tate’s associated cryptocurrency wallet sent $30 million to privacy protocol Railgun and received $1.2 million connected to a Texas pig-butchering fraud case. The funds largely originated from RadomPay and displayed laundering patterns through exchanges, including Hyperliquid. The transactions suggest coordinated use of privacy tools and high-risk platforms to move illicit funds.
