Brooklyn prosecutors and FBI dismantle Russian-language crypto fraud ring

Federal authorities seized 241 websites and 112 servers operating the scheme. The network targeted Russian-speaking victims through coordinated fraud operations. Prosecutors in Brooklyn partnered with the FBI to identify and shut down infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions.

The takedown represents one of the largest coordinated actions against crypto-specific fraud targeting a linguistic community. Victims lost significant sums to fake investment platforms and related schemes before the operation concluded.
