DOJ strikes at Huione Group infrastructure in bid

#World Cup Predictions: 100,000 USDT Daily DOJ strikes at Huione Group infrastructure in bid to choke billions in crypto fraud flows On June 23, the U.S. Department of Justice seized a cloud computing account used to power backend systems tied to Cambodia’s Huione Group, escalating a global push to disrupt crypto-enabled fraud laundering networks operating across messaging platforms and blockchain rails.

The seizure comes amid rising cybercrime losses. U.S. victims reported $7.2 billion in cryptocurrency investment fraud in 2025, according to FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center data, within total cybercrime losses of $21 billion for the year.

The DOJ’s seizure focused on the cloud account supporting that infrastructure, rather than only wallets or individual bad actors.
