The US Department of Justice, FBI, and Secret Service have formed a new task force targeting cryptocurrency scams linked to Chinese transnational criminal organizations. US Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro announced the Scam Center Strike Force in a public address, emphasizing its mission to protect Americans from investment fraud operations based in Southeast Asia.

These scams, often initiated through social engineering on US-based platforms, lure victims into investing in fraudulent crypto schemes. Pirro highlighted the staggering $9 billion annual losses Americans face from such 'pig-butchering' scams, where trust is built before funds are diverted to fake websites or applications.
