• Abstract: USDT, a stablecoin pegged to dollar, has become a preferred choice for money laundering due to its stability, anonymity, and ease of use. Notably, a new form of money laundering on stablecoins -- we refer to as crowdsourcing laundering -- disperses funds through recruiting a large number of ordinary individuals, and has rapidly emerged as a significant threat. However, due to the refined division of labor, crowdsourcing laundering transactions exhibit diverse patterns and a polycentric structure, posing significant challenges for detection. In this paper, we introduce transaction group as auxiliary information, and propose the Multi-Task Collaborative Crowdsourcing Laundering Detection (MCCLD) framework. MCCLD employs an end-to-end graph neural network to realize collaboration between laundering transaction detection and transaction group detection tasks, enhancing detection performance on diverse patterns within crowdsourcing laundering group. These two tasks are jointly optimized through a shared classifier, with a shared feature encoder that fuses multi-level feature embeddings to provide rich transaction semantics and potential group information. Extensive experiments on both crowdsourcing and general laundering demonstrate MCCLD's effectiveness and generalization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on crowdsourcing laundering detection.

  This paper introduces a graph neural network (GNN) approach to identify money laundering activities within a large heterogeneous network. We extend the homogeneous GNN method known as the Message Passing Neural Network (MPNN) to operate effectively on a heterogeneous graph. Our findings highlight the importance of using an appropriate GNN architecture when combining information in heterogeneous graphs.

  We propose the use of explainable artificial intelligence for decentralised computing of estimated contributions to a metric of interest. This approach mitigates the need to convince supply chain actors to share data, as all computations occur in a decentralised manner. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in detecting the source of quality variations compared to a centralised approach.

  Money laundering is a process where criminals use financial services to move illegal money to untraceable destinations. It is very crucial to identify such activities accurately and reliably in order to enforce an anti-money laundering (AML) In this paper, we employ semi-supervised graph learning techniques on graphs of financial transactions in order to identify nodes involved in potential money laundering.
