Venezuelan Cryptocurrency Superintendent on Radar
In a resort to diminish corruption, laundering and criminality associated with the Maduro regime, a reward program set up. A person or a group of people providing information about Joselit de la Trinidad Ramirez will get the reward.
He is also thought to have deep-rooted civic, social community based and economic relations to a narcotic Kingpin. This also includes Tareck El Aissami and many alike. The arrest report alleges that Joselit Camacho worked with a group to breach and elude narcotics-related OFAC sanctions. He supposedly arranged for travel utilities for OFAC sanctioned personal. Also, official members of Government of Venezuela during the re-election campaign of President Nicolas Maduro Moros in 2018. He is also charged with apparent money laundering via bulk cash smuggling from Venezuelan states to the U.S.
Being the Venezuelan superintendent, Camacho is one of the probable minds behind Petro. The cryptocurrency created by the nation and President Nicolas Maduro. He is responsible for Petro adoption and getting the business joints to adopt this crypto asset. The state-backed cryptocurrency Petro has recently authorised to use at gas stations, charging $0.02/litre. Even though users can’t make payments in the Petro app but an e-wallet named ‘Patria’, which uses a biometric payment mechanism.
