CoinVoice has recently learned that the U.S. Department of Justice has charged 12 individuals with stealing more than $263 million worth of cryptocurrency. These suspects are linked to a previous investigation in which fraudsters stole over $243 million from a creditor of Genesis. According to crypto detective ZachXBT last year, a creditor of the now-defunct Genesis was tricked by a group of scammers who stole $243 million worth of digital assets and then redirected them through a crypto mixer.

U.S. courts have stated that several of the 12 suspects were arrested this week in California, while two others are still abroad, possibly residing in Dubai.[Original link]
