TechFlow news, August 28 — According to official documents, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio has filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit targeting funds defrauded in a cryptocurrency investment scam. A male senior from Trumbull County and his sister reportedly lost over $1.6 million. The scam began in November 2024 when the victims received unsolicited text messages and subsequently connected with scammers via Telegram, eventually being lured into transferring funds to a fraudulent investment platform. Federal investigators used blockchain analysis to trace approximately $200,000 in stolen funds and have frozen USDT tokens worth $325,060. The FBI’s Cleveland division is actively investigating this case and related cryptocurrency fraud incidents, and the U.S. government plans to return the recovered funds to the victims.
