⚠️ALERT: US charges man accused of laundering $53 MILLION from crypto "pig butchering" scams. Federal authorities say Vietnamese national Trung Nguyen Van's wallets took in about $53 MILLION from crypto scams targeting Americans since 2018. One victim alone lost around $16 MILLION after being steered into a fake crypto platform called "Triangle." Van allegedly moved that victim's funds into private wallets immediately after receiving them. In pig butchering scams, fraudsters build a friendship or romance online, then lure victims into fake crypto investments.
