Ghanaian authorities arrested 19 people and seized 303 electronic devices near Accra, while 9 more arrests were reported in Nigeria. Binance, Coinbase and other technology companies shared intelligence and disrupted the infrastructure used by scammers, removing over 3.7 million accounts, pages and groups linked to fraudulent activity. Private-sector partners identified over $11 million in potentially freezable funds, a figure that has not been confirmed as seized or returned to victims. The operation also identified 117 human trafficking victims in Ghana.
