The US government has demanded the confiscation of 200,000 USDT linked to the Ohio bitcoin theft.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio announced Friday that the U.S. has filed a civil forfeiture indictment seeking the forfeiture of $200,000 worth of USDT. The action stems from an incident that occurred in February 2024 when $340,000 worth of bitcoin was fraudulently transferred from the wallet of an Ohio victim.
