🚨 Secrets in the Cold: $400M in Crypto Locked by the USA 🧊🇺🇸

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Secret Service has accumulated about $400 million in cryptocurrencies seized during investigations through its GIOC — Global Investigative Operations Center. The majority of the funds are in a single cold wallet. This is no longer just a fight against crime — it’s almost a DAO with access granted by a State Department pass.

In 2024, Americans lost $9.3 billion in crypto scams. The elderly were particularly affected — losing $2.8 billion due to "investment websites" that initially provide $100 in profit and then disappear along with $10K in credit.

The largest case: GIOC confiscated $225 million in USDT with the support of Tether and Coinbase. The reason — yet another love&invest romance via VPN that crashed into the domain.

Moral? Even if you are blackmailing a teenager from Idaho and using a VPN, your own IP could betray you.
