An international cybercrime ring has been exposed for using stolen crypto to live lavishly: renting mansions in Miami, flying private jets, spending money at nightclubs, and hiding money in... stuffed animals.
The U.S. Department of Justice (
#DOJ ) has charged 12 new individuals, bringing the total number of defendants to 13 in a massive cyber fraud scheme that saw $263 million in cryptocurrency stolen. Most of the defendants are between the ages of 18 and 21, some known only by their online aliases.
