Pirro Announces Major Seizure Of China-Based Cryptocurrency!

The Scam Center Strike Force, led by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, has successfully frozen and seized over $580 million in cryptocurrency. This significant achievement marks a major victory against Chinese transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) operating in Southeast Asia, specifically within Burma, Cambodia, and Laos. These criminal syndicates orchestrate sophisticated ‘pig butchering’ scams, leveraging social media and messaging platforms to defraud Americans of approximately $10 billion annually.

The operation highlights the harrowing reality of these scam compounds, where many workers are victims of human trafficking forced to commit fraud under duress. These illicit activities are so pervasive that they can account for nearly half of some regional GDPs. This multi-agency effort, involving the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, and the Department of Justice, aims to forfeit the seized assets and return them to the victims. U.S. authorities remain committed to dismantling these networks and protecting the life savings of honest citizens.
