Taiwan Cracks Down on $70M Crypto Fraud
Taiwanese prosecutors have indicted 14 individuals in the nation's largest cryptocurrency money laundering case, involving over $70 million and 1,500 victims. The Shilin District Prosecutor's Office charged the group with fraud, money laundering, and organized crime, seeking to confiscate 1.275 billion New Taiwan dollars ($39.8 million) allegedly obtained through illicit activities.
This case underscores Taiwan's intensified efforts to combat crypto-related financial crimes and protect investors from sophisticated scams. Authorities are signaling a broader crackdown on digital asset fraud as regulatory scrutiny tightens across global markets.
