The U.S. Department of Justice announced that, under the coordination of the FBI, a multinational operation was conducted in collaboration with law enforcement agencies in Dubai, China, and Thailand to dismantle at least 9 overseas 'pig-butchering' crypto scam centers targeting Americans. A total of 276 suspects were arrested, with Dubai police apprehending 275 individuals and Thai police capturing 1 fugitive. These scams typically involve building fake romantic or friendship relationships over time to lure victims into transferring funds to fraudulent crypto investment platforms, followed by money laundering. FBI's 'Operation Level Up' has issued warnings to nearly 9,000 potential victims, potentially preventing losses estimated at around $562 million.
