The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has seized nearly $9 million worth of Tether (USDT), a cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar, linked to a pig butchering scam. The DOJ alleges that the funds were obtained through a cybercrime ring that used romance scams and fake trading platforms to defraud investors. The seizure is part of a broader effort by the DOJ to crack down on cryptocurrency-related crimes. Pig butchering scams are a type of investment scam in which the scammers develop online relationships with victims, often posing as potential romantic partners. Once they have gained the victim's trust, the scammers encourage them to invest in fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes.
