Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts filed a civil forfeiture case to seize about 110,270 USDT linked to a $900,000 Bitcoin theft from a Massachusetts family trust. The theft occurred after fraudulent texts tricked a trust beneficiary into revealing Coinbase login details, allowing unauthorized transfer of 33.7 BTC. Investigators traced part of the stolen Bitcoin to a Binance account, where it was quickly converted to Monero, a privacy coin. Binance froze the account and transferred the seized Tether to government control; the case seeks forfeiture but no criminal defendants are named yet, and victims may contest the seizure.
