💔 $61M in $USDT seized in U.S. crypto romance scam case…
U.S. federal agents have seized more than $61 million in Tether (USDT) linked to a so called “pig butchering” scheme.
Scammers approached victims often posing as romantic interests built trust, and persuaded them to invest in cryptocurrency. The funds were then sent to fake trading platforms displaying fabricated profits.
When victims attempted to withdraw their money, they were told to pay additional “taxes” or fees. After those payments were made, the funds disappeared.
The stolen assets were funneled through chains of wallets to obscure their origin and hinder law enforcement tracking.
