According to Jinse Finance, a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice states that the DOJ has launched the largest forfeiture action in history against the Cambodia-based transnational fraud syndicate "Prince Group." The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the DOJ's National Security Division today filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit for approximately 127,271 bitcoins (about $15 billion) linked to the "Prince Group." These bitcoins are proceeds and instruments of fraud and money laundering by the defendants, previously stored in non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets with private keys held by the defendants. Currently, these funds (i.e., 127,000 bitcoins) are under the custody of the U.S. government. The DOJ also stated that Prince Group Chairman Chen Zhi is currently at large.
