Giới chức Mỹ vừa tiến thêm một bước trong cuộc chiến chống tội phạm tài chính liên quan đến tiền điện tử khi khởi động thủ tục tịch thu dân sự nhằm thu hồi khoảng 3,4 triệu USD bằng Tether (USDT) liên quan đến một vụ lừa đảo đầu tư. Theo điều tra, các đối tượng sử dụng tin nhắn “nhầm số” và các ứng dụng nhắn tin mã hóa như WhatsApp và Telegram để tiếp cận nạn nhân, sau đó dụ họ đầu tư vào cơ hội giả mạo liên quan đến Ethereum. Chúng còn tuyên bố khoản đầu tư được bảo đảm bằng vàng vật chất để tạo lòng tin.
Ít nhất bốn nạn nhân tại các bang Massachusetts, Utah và South Carolina đã bị nhắm tới. Số tiền chiếm đoạt sau đó được chuyển đổi sang USDT để dễ dàng chuyển ra nước ngoài và che giấu dấu vết. Cơ quan chức năng đã tịch thu số tài sản số này vào đầu năm 2025.
Vụ việc cho thấy xu hướng mới khi stablecoin hiện chiếm khoảng 84% giá trị giao dịch tiền điện tử bất hợp pháp, vượt xa Bitcoin.
