WuShuo has learned that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio announced the conviction of 25 defendants involved in an international Business Email Compromise (BEC) and money laundering scheme. The group hacked email accounts to obtain business correspondence and sent fake payment instructions to defraud victims. Over 1,000 victims were affected across 47 U.S. states and 19 countries, with the total amount involved reaching approximately $215 million. The illicit funds were laundered through fake bank accounts, cash transfer systems, and cryptocurrencies. About $50 million was processed via checks and money service businesses. Some assets, including cash, crypto assets, and high-value items, have been seized or confiscated. https://(wublock123.com)/news/25-convicted-215m-international-email-scam-money-laundering-crypto-transfers-60422
