According to Wu Blockchain, federal prosecutors in the Western District of Missouri have charged a 37-year-old Vietnamese man, Trung Nguyen Van, with involvement in a crypto 'pig-butchering' scam and filed two counts of money laundering against him. Prosecutors allege that between June and August 2024, a victim mistakenly believed they were investing in a crypto platform called Triangle, transferring approximately $16 million in crypto assets, some of which were directly traceable to Van's wallet. From February 2018 to December 2024, Van's crypto wallet reportedly received around $53.28 million in crypto assets linked to telecom fraud targeting U.S. citizens, with approximately $53.19 million transferred to other accounts. Additionally, multiple U.S. victims collectively lost millions of dollars in various 'pig-butchering' scams, with the related funds flowing through several suspicious wallets into Van's crypto wallet. https://(wublock123.com)/news/vietnamese-man-charged-crypto-romance-scam-money-laundering-53m-69027
