The U.S. House of Representatives is proposing the establishment of an interagency task force called the 'Federal Cryptocurrency Theft Task Force.' According to the bill's text, this task force will be led by the U.S. Attorney General and will involve key federal law enforcement and financial agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Treasury Department. Its primary function will be to serve as a unified federal coordination center for preventing and investigating cryptocurrency theft, hacking, and financial fraud (such as 'pig butchering' scams). It will also provide a single federal point of contact for cross-jurisdictional cases and victims, while strengthening joint efforts to combat overseas criminal networks and ransomware-related crypto payments.
