Golden Finance reported that Coinbase announced it played a "key role" in assisting the US Secret Service in tracking down and seizing $225 million in stolen Cryptoactifs. The case can be traced back to 2023, related to a human trafficking group suspected of carrying out "Escroqueries de type "pig-butchering"". Coinbase used off-chain tracking technology to identify the flow of funds and help determine compensable victims. This seizure is the largest Cryptomonnaie confiscation operation in the history of the US Secret Service. Tether had previously frozen $225 million in USDT related to this, indicating a total freeze of $2.7 billion in funds related to criminal activities. The Department of Justice expressed its gratitude for this cooperation.
