The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) made an announcement on Wednesday stating that they have seized some $24 million in cryptocurrencies from a scheme that defrauded “tens of thousands of Brazilians” of over $200 million. The seized was made after a request from the Brazilian government. Brazil asked DOJ to seize crypto funds held in the U.S. by Marcos Antonio Fagundes, who is facing multiple charges in Brazil, including illegally operating a financial institution, securities violations, and money laundering.
