Brooklyn DA Dismantles Crypto Scam Network
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office has dismantled a multinational cryptocurrency scam that drained tens of millions of dollars from Russian-speaking victims across the U.S. Working with the FBI, investigators executed search warrants across three time zones, seizing or disrupting 241 scam domains and more than 100 cloud servers. The servers held the scammers' victim data, site content, and operating software, and the operation has been struck at the heart of this criminal enterprise, making it far harder for scammers to victimize others.
