PANews reported on June 4th that, according to Cointelegraph, Coinbase has frozen over $3 million in cryptocurrency linked to a Southeast Asian crypto fraud network. This operation is part of "Disruption Week," a campaign led by the U.S. Department of Justice's Fraud Center, aimed at combating crypto fraud targeting U.S. citizens. Meta, Microsoft, and Starlink also participated in the operation, jointly dismantling servers and hosting infrastructure associated with the fraud network and disrupting criminal activity on over 1.4 million social media and email accounts. The Royal Thai Police's Anti-Cyber Fraud Center has already made several arrests. The U.S. Department of Justice stated that investment fraud and "pig butchering" scams are the fastest-growing and most financially destructive types of fraud targeting Americans. Coinbase stated that blockchain technology provides law enforcement with a transparent, immutable, and permanent record of transactions that traditional financial systems typically cannot offer.
