NanoBit’s crypto scam ends in a $5.52M SEC victory – Here’s how

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) secured a victory against NanoBit and related entities for operating a 'pig butchering' cryptocurrency scam between September 2023 and June 2024. Scammers used messaging apps to contact victims, promoting fraudulent initial coin offerings with promises of high returns and falsely claiming SEC registration. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York issued a final judgment against two individuals and four organizations. The court found that no actual transactions occurred on the NanoBit platform, with investor funds being misappropriated and wired overseas. All defendants received permanent injunctions for violating anti-fraud securities laws. They were ordered to pay a total of approximately $5.52 million in penalties, comprising disgorgement of illicit profits, pre-judgment interest, and civil fines. NanoBit itself owes about $1.8 million. The court noted the defendants' willful default and the absence of any meritorious defense.

Daren Li Flees Ankle Monitor, Sentenced in Absentia for Global Cryptocurrency Scam

Daren Li, a dual citizen of China and St. Kitts and Nevis, has been sentenced in absentia to 20 years in prison by a U.S. federal court for laundering over $73 million from a global cryptocurrency scam. The scheme used "pig butchering" tactics, where scammers built fake online relationships to lure victims into investing in fraudulent crypto platforms. Li and his associates moved stolen funds through U.S. bank accounts and shell companies before converting them to cryptocurrency. Li removed his ankle monitor and fled in late 2025. Eight other co-conspirators have pleaded guilty as part of an ongoing international effort to dismantle crypto fraud networks.

Suspect Linked to $15 Billion Bitcoin Fraud Arrested in Cambodia, Deported to China

Cambodian authorities have arrested and deported businessman Chen Zhi to China. He is accused of masterminding a massive international criminal network involving a $15 billion Bitcoin fraud, pig butchering scams, and money laundering. As the founder of the Cambodia-based Prince Group, he allegedly used its public business operations as a front for criminal activities. His network is linked to over 100 shell companies and the operation of scam centers across Southeast Asia. This follows a historic seizure by U.S. authorities of over 127,000 Bitcoin, valued at $15 billion, from his operation. China is seeking to prosecute him under its laws, which allow citizens to be charged for major crimes committed abroad. The case highlights the global scale of crypto-related crime and increased cross-border law enforcement cooperation.

Crypto hack counts fall but supply chain attacks reshape threat landscape

New data from CertiK reveals that while crypto hackers stole $3.3 billion in 2025, the number of attacks fell sharply. Losses were concentrated in fewer, more damaging supply-chain attacks, which accounted for $1.45 billion across just two incidents, including the $1.4 billion Bybit hack. This shift indicates attackers are moving away from simple code vulnerabilities toward more sophisticated infrastructure-level exploits. The number of security incidents decreased by 162 year-over-year, suggesting improved protocol-level security. The median loss per hack fell 35.75% to $103,966, though the average loss rose to $5.3 million due to high-value outliers. Phishing scams were the second-largest threat, costing $722 million across 248 incidents. A significant subset was "pig butchering" romance scams, which used prolonged emotional manipulation and cost the industry $5.5 billion in 2024.
