Hello everyone,

In one of the largest coordinated operations this year, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just announced the seizure of over $700 million in digital currencies and charged two Chinese citizens believed to have run large-scale fraud schemes in Southeast Asia with "bank fraud conspiracy."

The operation was coordinated with the Treasury Department (OFAC), the State Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), with a clear message: "We're not done yet."

Federal prosecutors in Boston have filed “the first-ever criminal charges against financial firms for crypto market manipulation and wash trading.”
Eighteen individuals and entities are accused of large-scale fraud and manipulation of the cryptocurrency market, including the heads of market making companies Gotbit, ZM Quant, CLS Global, MyTrad and several crypto projects.

Americans lost $9.3 billion to crypto fraud in 2024, according to FBI data. The majority of the scams involved fake exchanges, rug pulls, and fraudulent investment apps.

Authorities are urging users to verify platforms and be skeptical of “too good to be true” returns.

The UAE-based company CLS Global agreed to accept U.S. charges that they manipulated the value of a special FBI-created cryptocurrency token used to fight crypto fraud. 
The FBI’s first-ever operation to fight cryptocurrency fraud charged CLS Global as one of 15 individuals and three companies. Prosecutors say CLS Global provided illegal trading services to cryptocurrency companies and agreed to help manipulate the market for the FBI-backed NexFundAI token, which runs on the Ethereum blockchain.
The company told investigators it made fake trades to make the token’s price and trading activity look higher than they really were. CLS Global must pay $428,059 and cannot trade cryptocurrencies on U.S. platforms or serve U.S. clients. 
To show it follows the rules, CLS Global must give proof of compliance once a year. The company also says it will pay back the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for breaking its rules.
The case shows regulators are paying closer attention to crypto companies, and shows how essential it is for these firms to follow U.S. rules when dealing with digital currencies.

In an effort to combat the sharply increasing cryptocurrency fraud, the FBI has just launched Operation Level Up, which has saved over 4,300 victims from losses of up to $285 million. This campaign aims to mitigate damages from cryptocurrency investment scams, estimated at up to $3.9 billion just in 2023.
The Trick "Pig Butchering" and the Fraud Target
According to reports from the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) of #FBI , around 3,200 complaints related to cryptocurrency investment fraud are filed each month. These scams are often negatively referred to as "pig butchering" – implying fattening the prey with promises of huge profits before suddenly seizing all assets.
