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

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a civil forfeiture action on July 31, seeking to seize 47,461.73111 USDT, worth approximately $47,000. Prosecutors allege that scammers induced victims to withdraw cash from banks and deposit it into cryptocurrency ATMs. 

Prosecutors said a resident of Ware, Massachusetts, became a target after a computer pop-up prompted them to contact customer support, who claimed the victim's bank account had been compromised and demanded funds be transferred to government custody. Investigators subsequently traced a portion of the funds to the same cryptocurrency wallet, linking it to four other victims of similar scams. 

The U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Stop Crypto ATM Scams Act on June 11, proposing a daily transaction limit of $2,000 and a total deposit cap of $10,000 for new customers during their first 14 days, while requiring cryptocurrency ATM operators to provide fraud warnings, refund arrangements, and enhanced anti-money laundering and record-keeping obligations.
