Philippine Interior Chief Says Atong Ang May Have Moved $3 Billion Into Crypto

Philippine Interior Secretary Juanito Victor “Jonvic” Remulla said fugitive gambling businessman Charlie “Atong” Ang may have moved $3 billion into cryptocurrency, potentially giving him funds to draw on while evading arrest. Remulla said Ang left the Philippines through an unofficial route rather than a formal port. Remulla said Ang was in Southeast Asia. The Philippine National Police and regional intelligence partners are pursuing him. Remulla described the cryptocurrency conversion as a possibility.
