美國司法部（DOJ）3月21日宣布，已收回了加密貨幣投資欺詐計劃的700萬美元的收益

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is urging victims of a global cryptocurrency scam, which involved the use of fake platforms, shell companies, and coercion to drain investor funds, to come forward and claim their share of the $7 million recovered by feds.

美國司法部（DOJ）敦促全球加密貨幣騙局的受害者，該騙局涉及使用假平台，殼牌公司和脅迫來耗盡投資者資金，以挺身而出，並聲稱他們在美聯儲收回的700萬美元中所佔的份額。

The DOJ has successfully cleared the $7 million through a civil asset forfeiture. The funds were part of a broader scheme that defrauded numerous victims worldwide.

司法部通過民事資產沒收成功清除了700萬美元。資金是更廣泛的計劃的一部分，該計劃欺騙了全世界的許多受害者。

“The United States has recovered and cleared title to $7 million of investment fraud proceeds using civil asset forfeiture. The United States will now begin the process of inviting the victims from whom those funds were stolen to submit petitions to have the funds remitted back to them,” the announcement reads.

“美國已收回並清除了700萬美元的投資欺詐收益，使用民事資產沒收。現在，美國將開始邀請受害者被盜的受害者，以提交請願書，以將資金退還給他們，”宣布。

The announcement follows U.S. District Judge Rossie D. Alston Jr.’s approval of a settlement between the U.S. and a foreign bank, where the funds had been located. The settlement agreement grants the U.S. government full ownership of the recovered funds.

該公告是在美國地方法院法官羅西·D·阿爾斯頓（Rossie D. Alston Jr.和解協議授予美國政府對收回資金的全部所有權。

The DOJ’s complaint details how the scammers deceived victims by presenting them with fraudulent cryptocurrency investment opportunities on platforms that mimicked legitimate services.

司法部的投訴詳細介紹了騙子如何通過在模仿合法服務的平台上向欺詐性加密貨幣投資機會介紹他們，從而欺騙了受害者。

“These websites were set up to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency investment platforms, but funneled victim funds to the perpetrators through over 75 bank accounts in the names of shell companies. The sites falsely represented to the victims that their investments were making sizeable gains. However, when victims would attempt to make withdrawals, the perpetrators would coerce the victims to send even more money using tactics such as claiming the victims owed taxes on their purported profits,” the authorities explained.

“這些網站的設置為模仿合法的加密貨幣投資平台，但是通過75個以殼牌公司的名義向犯罪者提供了受害者資金。犯罪者的資金。這些網站是錯誤地代表受害者的投資，他們的投資正在宣布受害者的納稅人，以索取受害者的稅收，使受害者更加努力，使受害者更加努力，使受害者更加努力。聲稱利潤。”當局解釋說。

After laundering the funds through a complex series of domestic and international transactions, the perpetrators ultimately transferred the money to a foreign bank. In June 2023, the U.S. Secret Service seized funds from the foreign bank account, prompting the DOJ to file a civil forfeiture complaint.

在通過一系列複雜的國內和國際交易來洗錢資金之後，肇事者最終將這筆錢轉移到了外國銀行。 2023年6月，美國特勤局從外國銀行帳戶中奪取了資金，促使司法部提出民事沒收投訴。

Following a claim by the foreign bank, a settlement was reached, resulting in $7 million being forfeited to the United States.

在外國銀行提出索賠之後，達成和解，導致700萬美元被沒收到美國。

The DOJ is now accepting submissions from victims who believe they may be entitled to a portion of the recovered funds. Victims have 180 days to submit their petitions.

司法部現在正在接受受害者的意見書，這些受害者認為他們可能有權獲得回收資金的一部分。受害者有180天的時間提交請願書。

This recovery effort underscores the ongoing battle against cryptocurrency fraud and the efforts of authorities to return stolen assets to victims.

這項恢復工作強調了對加密貨幣欺詐的持續鬥爭，以及當局將被盜資產歸還受害者的努力。
