According to CoinMeta, and as announced by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Prosecutors' Office of Massachusetts has filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit seeking to confiscate 456,602 USDT, valued at approximately $456,600, that are involved in online romance scams. According to the complaint, scammers established trust with victims through dating websites and Facebook, and then induced them to invest on fake cryptocurrency platforms. The funds were actually transferred to unmanaged wallets. When victims attempted to withdraw their money, they were also required to pay additional fees and taxes. Law enforcement authorities have traced and seized the funds that flowed into these two cryptocurrency wallets and are now seeking formal forfeiture through civil litigation.
