US-UK Alliance Targets Crypto Scam Operations, Disrupting Organized Crime Networks

The United States and the United Kingdom have launched a joint alliance to target crypto scam operations. This partnership aims to disrupt organized crime networks involved in crypto and cyber-enabled investment fraud.

Under the agreement, agencies from both countries will share information on organized crime syndicates and coordinate which jurisdictions should prosecute specific cases.

The US Department of Justice said an early October in-person disruption operation is planned in London with private-sector partners. This operation reflects the reality that many crypto fraud ecosystems rely on services, infrastructure, and payment channels outside traditional law enforcement boundaries.
