Five men have pleaded guilty to participating in a $36.90 million international cryptocurrency scam scheme targeting Americans in which the funds were ultimately transferred to a cryptocurrency scam center in Cambodia. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California said Monday that the cryptocurrency scammers used shelf companies and U.S. bank accounts to collect the stolen funds, which were then converted into Tether and transferred to a Cambodian-controlled cryptocurrency wallet.
The plea agreements reflect the U.S. government's crackdown on cryptocurrency scams and money laundering gangs operating in Asia, particularly those linked to the North Korean state-backed Lazarus group.
