AG Platkin Joins Bipartisan Effort Demanding Answers from WeChat

Published Date: May 12, 2025

Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin joined a bipartisan coalition of six attorneys general demanding answers from WeChat over concerns that the Chinese messaging app is a key enabler of fentanyl trafficking and illegal money laundering in the United States. “We will use every available resource to track down and bring to justice the criminal cartels and ringleaders who seek to bring fentanyl into our state. As part of these ongoing efforts, we’re making crystal clear today that we and our fellow attorneys general will hold accountable tech companies that are complicit in fentanyl trafficking and money laundering,” said Attorney General Platkin. “Fentanyl has taken too many lives, and we will continue to do everything in our power to pursue ringleaders and cartels and protect our residents.”
