Svmuu News: The U.S. Department of Justice launched "Disruption Week," partnering with tech companies including Coinbase, SpaceX, Meta, and Apple to freeze over $3.8 million in stolen crypto assets, targeting organized crypto fraud originating from Southeast Asia.
During this operation, the government and private enterprises shared information, successfully disrupting over 1.4 million social media and email accounts and assisting in the arrest of seven fraud suspects. The DOJ stated that this demonstrates the power of collaboration between the public and private sectors in preventing more American citizens from falling victim.
FBI data shows that in 2025, crypto fraud losses in the United States reached nearly $11.4 billion, a 22% increase year-over-year. Previously, companies like Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance also assisted in freezing $12 million in fraud-related funds. (Decrypt)
