U.S. and U.K. launch joint alliance to investigate and disrupt crypto scam centers and fraud
The United States and the United Kingdom formed a joint law-enforcement alliance to investigate and dismantle cryptocurrency scam centers and related investment fraud and other cyber-enabled schemes, with the U.S. Department of Justice announcing the initiative on Sept. 3 [1].
The reported agreement includes parallel investigations and information-sharing between U.S. and UK authorities, and the authorities planned a private-sector disruption operation in London in October [2].
Crypto Briefing characterized the U.S.-UK alliance against crypto scams as potentially enhancing global cybersecurity efforts and deterring transnational organized crime [3].
A separate low-authority report said the U.S.-UK joint alliance includes a London plan targeting crypto scam hubs [4].
