Florida prosecutors have confiscated approximately $1.5 million in cryptocurrency tied to an alleged investment fraud scheme. The funds were traced to a digital wallet controlled by Chinese national Tu Weizhi, who faces multiple financial crime charges.

Authorities Leveraged the state's fugitive disentitlement framework to execute the seizure while the suspect remains overseas. The case stemmed from a July 2024 complaint filed by a Citrus County resident who lost $47,421 to what appeared to be a legitimate investment platform.

Investigators followed a transaction trail connecting the victim's losses to a larger pool of crypto assets in Tu's wallet. The seizure highlights Florida's growing sophistication in combating digital financial crimes as scammers evolve their tactics.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
