BlockBeats News, September 9th, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that a resident of La Quinta, California, was sentenced to 51 months in prison and ordered to pay $26.9 million for participating in a global cryptocurrency scam that laundered $37 million. The individual and accomplices used a Bahamian company, Axis Digital, to receive funds, transferred the victims' funds to a Deltec bank account, converted them to USDT, and then moved them to a scam wallet. This case is part of the Department of Justice's ongoing efforts to combat cross-border "rug pull" cryptocurrency scams and money laundering networks.
