Who is Sebastián Marset? Uruguay’s alleged cocaine-mafia crypto kingpin

Sebastián Enrique Marset Cabrera is currently jailed in Virginia, facing U.S. federal charges related to money laundering, drug smuggling, and narco-terrorism. Prosecutors allege he used cryptocurrency to move drug proceeds, though his defense argues the jurisdictional link to the U.S. is weak and that the crypto evidence does not prove a crypto-native criminal enterprise.
