The FBI has been investigating a $5 million cryptocurrency romance scam since August that targeted 71 victims through a fraudulent investment scheme. Court documents show that fraudsters used fake social media profiles to lure individuals into a fraudulent trading platform called Bitkanant. The investigation began in August when federal prosecutors in North Carolina executed a search warrant and seized more than $4.99 million worth of unescrow USDT wallets. The funds are currently in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
