Brooklyn Prosecutors Seize Crypto Scam Infrastructure
Brooklyn prosecutors have dismantled the online infrastructure of a multinational crypto investment scam targeting Russian speakers, seizing and disrupting 112 servers. The servers were hosted by Eastern European and American companies, and the scammers relied on infrastructure and IP addresses in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries. The scammers stole millions of dollars from Russian-speaking victims through an elaborate investment scheme, including a fake recovery service that contacted victims weeks later with promises to get their stolen crypto back.
