{ "title": "FBI Offers $15 Million Reward for Ryan Wedding's Capture, Wife Faces US Sanctions", "article": "The FBI, in collaboration with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), has declared a $15 million reward for information leading to the capture of Ryan Wedding, a former Olympian turned fugitive. Wedding's wife, Miryam Andrea Castillo Moreno, has been identified as a key figure in his transnational cocaine trafficking and murder enterprise. According to the US Department of the Treasury, Castillo Moreno has been sanctioned for laundering drug proceeds and helping her husband conduct acts of violence. The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has blocked all of Castillo Moreno's U.S.-based assets and prohibited any transactions involving her without a license. The Treasury aims to cut Wedding and his associates off from the US financial system and dismantle their network. The FBI has accused Wedding of running a sophisticated operation, including the use of cryptocurrency, to move and launder illicit wealth. Castillo Moreno is believed to have coordinated these finances, funneling drug profits into luxury assets. The Treasury's sanctions target Wedding's entire network, including Castillo Moreno, who is described as his financial backbone. Other key associates include Edgar Aaron Vazquez Alvarado, Carmen Yelinet Valoyes Florez, and several others. The Treasury has warned that any US-based individuals or entities continuing to do business with Castillo Moreno without a special license risk civil or criminal penalties. "
