AG ​Jackson announced today that a bipartisan coalition he led has secured specific, enforceable commitments from WeChat to help American law enforcement disrupt fentanyl-related money laundering on its platform.

“If you want to stop fentanyl, you have to go after the money. That’s what we’ve done with WeChat, a messaging app based in China. It wasn’t doing enough to stop money laundering, so we gave them 30 days to respond to our demands and made clear what would happen if they didn’t. They responded. Law enforcement now has tools it didn’t have to go after the money that fuels the fentanyl epidemic.” – AG Jackson
