DOJ Seizes Burma-Linked Crypto Scam Domain Amid Crackdown on Fake Trading Scheme
The U.S. Department of Justice dismantled tickmilleas(dot)com, a fraudulent crypto trading platform operated from Burma's Tai Chang compound. Victims lost millions to fabricated profit displays and staged deposits.
Federal investigators linked the domain to sanctioned groups—the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army and Trans Asia International Holding Group Thailand Company Limited—both tied to Chinese organized crime. The seizure follows broader enforcement against Southeast Asian scam centers.
Authorities emphasize rising crypto fraud sophistication, urging vigilance against platforms promising unrealistic returns. The takedown coincides with the D.C. Scam Center Strike Force's recent launch.
