The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken bold action against cybercriminals who allegedly stole more than $5 million in bitcoin through a sophisticated scheme involving SIM swapping and online casinos. Authorities say the thefts targeted multiple victims, and the stolen funds are now subject to a civil forfeiture complaint as the government works to recover the cryptocurrency.
