U.S. seized $225 million in crypto from scam victims, recovery stalls
The government seized the funds under Operation Big Tuna, but victims say returning their assets has been difficult, according to the WSJ Markets.
WSJ Markets reports that the U.S. seized $225 million in cryptocurrency for scam victims as part of Operation Big Tuna.
The outlet says that while the funds were taken in connection with the scam effort, returning them to victims has proven harder than the seizure itself.
WSJ Markets frames the issue as an ongoing dispute over how scam victims can recover assets after U.S. authorities take control of the crypto.
