美国司法部寻求追回4.7万美元USDT，涉5名受害者加密货币ATM诈骗案

Odaily News: On July 31, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a civil forfeiture action seeking to recover 47,461.73111 USDT, valued at approximately $47,000. Prosecutors stated that scammers induced victims to withdraw cash from banks and deposit it through cryptocurrency ATMs. 

According to prosecutors, a resident of Ware, Massachusetts, became a target after a computer pop-up prompted them to contact customer support, who claimed their bank account had been compromised and instructed them to transfer funds to government custody. Investigators later traced some of the funds to the same cryptocurrency wallet and linked four other victims of similar scams. 

On June 11, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Stop Crypto ATM Scams Act, which proposes a daily transaction limit of $2,000 and a total deposit limit of $10,000 for new customers during the first 14 days. It also requires cryptocurrency ATM operators to provide fraud warnings, refund arrangements, and enhanced anti-money laundering and record-keeping obligations.
