Feds Slam Shut Identity Theft Ring—Seize 145 Domains & Crypto Haul

Another day, another crypto crackdown—but this one hits where it hurts. The DOJ just pulled the plug on a sprawling identity theft operation, grabbing domains and digital assets in a single sweep. Who said regulators move slow?

Memo to dark web entrepreneurs: Your Monero isn’t as untraceable as you think. This takedown proves even pseudo-anonymous coins leave breadcrumbs—especially when Uncle Sam’s watching. Maybe stick to selling fake Rolexes instead?
