New York's Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit to recover over $2 million stolen from victims of a cryptocurrency scam targeting remote job seekers.
Scammers assured victims they would get their investments back plus commission, but instead, the funds went into the scammers' crypto wallets, leading to significant financial losses.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz noted that their cryptocurrency unit traced over $2 million in stolen crypto and identified the digital wallets, successfully freezing the funds.
James condemned the scammers for exploiting the vulnerability of individuals seeking remote work, emphasizing the cruelty of their tactics which have devastated families.
