The operation was carried out by the Scam Center Strike Force interagency team — a special coalition of federal agencies established to combat major cryptocurrency scams. It includes the District of Columbia Prosecutor’s Office, divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Secret Service, and the Criminal Investigations Division of the Tax Administration. According to investigators, the seized assets are linked to investment schemes and other forms of online fraud. The perpetrators contacted victims through social media and messaging apps, gradually gained their trust, and directed them to fake investment platforms where funds were transferred to addresses under their control. Authorities intend to seek final asset confiscation through the courts and will use the funds to compensate the victims. According to U.S. officials, such schemes cause nearly $10 billion dollars in damages to American citizens annually and remain one of the fastest-growing segments of financial fraud. Previously, the District of Columbia court ordered the forfeiture of assets totaling about $400 million dollars, including cryptocurrency and real estate, from crypto mixer developer Larry Dean Harmon (Larry Dean Harmon).
