The FBI launched Operation Blackout to dismantle cryptocurrency scam complexes worldwide, announcing approximately $17 billion in seized assets, hundreds of arrests, and thousands of workers freed.

The only verifiable amount remains the $122 million in cryptocurrencies seized or frozen under the prevention branch, Operation Level Up.
