According to Bloomberg, the US government has seized nearly $9 million in USDT, and the funds have been traced to an organized fraud network that defrauded victims in multiple parts of the United States through fake encrypted trading platforms. The US Department of Justice stated that this operation is related to a scam commonly known as the "pig killing plate", which has harmed more than 70 victims. On the previous day, Tether announced that it has frozen approximately $225 million in USDT in an investigation into international human trafficking groups and stated that it is cooperating with the US Department of Justice and cryptocurrency exchange OKX. A Tether spokesperson did not immediately respond to whether its $225 million USDT freeze is related to the Department of Justice's announcement. https://(wublock123.com)/news/us-government-seizes-9m-usdt-romance-scam-62963
