Despite complex orders, blockchain investigators can still map the laundering network using LIFO (final-in-first-out) to follow the money through the 93 scam deposit address, then 35 mediation layers, and finally consolidated into seven groups.
StableCoin Tether (USDT) froze the tokens associated with these groups, burnt them, and re -issued an equal amount to the US government, allowing civil fierce recovery.
This important mechanism can only be used when a legal group is present for the seizure.
To activate this, the US DOJ implemented two federal laws, namely 18 USC (981 (A) (A) (A) (A) and 18 USC (981 (A) (A) (A) (A) (C), which allow the property involved in money laundering to be confiscated and receive from wire fraud.
The next step in this process should identify the victims through the process of claims and use the seized zodiac signs for restoration, although no specific announcements were made about this phase.
