The US Department of Justice seized 127,271 Bitcoin, valued at up to $15 billion, from Cambodia's Prince Group, marking the largest cryptocurrency seizure in DOJ history. The group, led by Chen Zhi, was indicted for running forced-labor crypto scams involving fake romantic and investment schemes known as "pig butchering."
