On September 9, 2026, the DOJ’s Scam Center Strike Force froze approximately $52 million in laundered crypto assets in a single day. The operation targeted Xinbi Guarantee, a Chinese-language marketplace on Telegram that served as fraud infrastructure. The Treasury Department sanctioned Xinbi Guarantee along with two affiliated entities, Anwen and SafeW Technology, while Tether cooperated with investigators to identify and lock down the relevant wallets. Simultaneously, a two-week operation in Madagascar dismantled 13 Chinese-run scam compounds, resulting in roughly 400 to 500 arrests. The Strike Force, launched in November 2025 under D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, has frozen or seized a cumulative total of $938 million in scam-related assets.
