The US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts filed a civil forfeiture complaint on November 9, 2026, seeking $456,602 in USDT linked to romance-and-investment scams. The funds were allegedly taken from three victims approached through a matchmaking site, Facebook and RedNote, then steered toward fraudulent investment platforms showing fake profits. The money was allegedly laundered into USDT through two seized crypto wallets. A victim from Norwood, Massachusetts, reported losses of about $1.89 million across 26 transactions, while another action pursued in March 2026 sought 327,829.72 USDT in a similar case.
