New York Authorities Seize $400K+ in Crypto from Facebook Scam—Justice Served Digital-Style

New York officials just pulled off a crypto heist—legally. The target? A Facebook ad scam that duped investors out of six figures.
Here's the kicker: The state clawed back over $400,000 in digital assets. No bulletproof vests required—just subpoenas and blockchain forensics.
How They Did It
While Wall Street still struggles with basic KYC, New York's task force traced the funds across wallets like a bloodhound on a crypto trail. The takeaway? Scammers might outrun the SEC, but they can't hide from the blockchain.
The Ironic Twist
The recovered funds—now frozen in cold storage—are worth more than some hedge funds' 'diversified' crypto portfolios. Talk about poetic justice.
