According to Bitcoin.com, the head of the cybercrime unit of the Paraguayan National Police, Diosnel Alarcon, pointed out that in 2023 and 2024, cryptocurrency scams and Ponzi schemes transferred more than 4 billion dollars, and illegal intermediaries took advantage of investors' ignorance of cryptocurrencies to facilitate crime. They set up fake platforms as bait to add a small profit to the victim's account, and the victim will know that they were defrauded months later. This figure includes the use of Paraguay as a transit platform to transfer illicit funds. Although cryptocurrency transactions can be traced, it is not easy to recover funds and identify those behind them due to the influence of international bureaucratic procedures. However, if the case is reported quickly, the authorities may be able to stop the crime and recover the funds.
