DOJ Sita Infrastruktur Cloud Huione Group, Diduga Cuci Miliaran Dolar Hasil Penipuan Kripto
On June 23, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the seizure of a cloud computing account used by a subsidiary of the Huione Group, a conglomerate from Cambodia. The account held backend infrastructure allegedly used by criminals to move proceeds from crypto investment scams and cyber scams across blockchains, then convert them into official banking systems without detection.
The seized account was used to operate Huione Guarantee, also known as Haowang Guarantee. According to court documents, the platform operated a Telegram channel containing the sale of stolen credit card data, malware theft proceeds, the recruitment of human trafficking victims, and money-laundering services from romance scams. Huione Guarantee also provided escrow services for cryptocurrency money laundering.
Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva said the account was the technological backbone used to move and conceal billions of dollars in scam proceeds, most of it from Southeast Asia scam centers. The seizure is part of Operation Riptide, an FBI campaign that began on June 9, 2026.
At the same time, FinCEN filed a new rule to expand the definition of the Huione Group to include H Pay Service PLC, an entity assessed as an effort to evade sanctions through renaming. The Treasury also imposed new sanctions on nine individuals and 26 entities linked to the Prince Group.
According to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, U.S. residents reported losses of more than $20 billion due to online scams in 2025, up 26 percent from the previous year. UNODC previously stated that Huione Guarantee had laundered at least $24 billion through the end of 2024.
