The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas announced on Wednesday that it has charged 21 people in a transnational crypto money-laundering network that washed millions in funds scammed from thousands of U.S. victims.
The charges were unsealed as part of “Operation Crypto Runner,” which was established by U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston of the Eastern District of Texas, the Secret Service and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
