Brooklyn DA and FBI Disrupt Multinational Crypto Scam Targeting Russian-Speaking Americans

Brooklyn DA and FBI dismantled a cryptocurrency investment fraud targeting Russian-speaking Americans, neutralizing 241 fraudulent domains and over 100 cloud servers across Eastern Europe and the US.

Authorities recovered approximately $300,000 in stolen funds so far and continue efforts to identify additional victims and reclaim more assets.
