U.S. prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of more than $25 million in cryptocurrency alleged to be connected to international romance and investment scams, according to multiple reports. The cases involve funds traced from thousands of victims to laundering networks, with authorities saying the activity spans multiple jurisdictions. Decrypt reports that five forfeiture cases are filed, and that Secret Service agents follow financial flows from victim losses to suspected launderers in Southeast Asia. Cointelegraph and CoinDesk similarly describe the effort as targeting crypto tied to fraud and laundering networks tied to those scam types. CoinDesk adds that the new action is part of broader recovery efforts, stating authorities have previously recovered more than $800 million through a federal scam task force. The Block likewise characterizes the forfeiture seek as arising from five investigations into global fraud and laundering networks and notes the amount sought is over $25 million. All accounts frame the matter as a forfeiture action tied to tracing and recovering proceeds believed to facilitate or result from the alleged scams.
