The U.S. Department of Justice has charged 12 additional individuals linked to a cybercrime syndicate accused of stealing over $263 million in cryptocurrency. Prosecutors allege the group executed a sophisticated social engineering and hacking scheme, funneling illicit gains into luxury cars, nightlife extravagances, and high-end goods.
Operating between October 2023 and March 2025, the network allegedly formed through connections on online gaming platforms. The indictment outlines charges including racketeering, wire fraud, and obstruction of justice, marking one of the most significant crypto-related prosecutions to date.
