According to the Department of Justice website, the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia has successfully recovered 420,740 USDT and 1,249,996 BUSD through civil asset forfeiture procedures, with a total value of nearly 1.70 million US dollars. These funds came from cryptocurrency investment fraud proceeds and money laundering activities and are currently being returned to victims.
According to court documents, the scammers contacted victims via text messages and social media, disguised as accidental contacts and induced them to move to crypto chat apps. The scammers then gained the victims' trust and encouraged them to "invest" in cryptocurrencies on a fake investment website that mimicked a legitimate cryptocurrency investment platform but actually transferred victims' funds to the scammers.
