Ongoing law enforcement efforts to address scammers have resulted in $17 billion in seized assets so far.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that it is expanding “Operation Blackout“ to shut down scam compounds that prey on Americans. The initiative has already led to the seizure of approximately $17 billion connected to international schemes to defraud Americans.
FBI Director Kash Patel shared that these scam compounds “are actual villages with structures where they force people into forced labor,” making them trick people into investing money into fraudulent cryptocurrency investment platforms.
Director Patel explained that the ongoing mission of Operation Blackout is to “prevent, disrupt, and dismantle” the scam compounds that are largely targeting American senior citizens. The bureau stated that efforts will continue until scammers face justice and Americans’ assets are safe.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Director Patel as he the efforts of the FBI to take down international scam compounds.
- For the federal agents assigned to Operation Blackout as they investigate fraud networks and forced labor operations.
- For wisdom for American consumers to avoid investments by perpetrators of fraud.
