FBI
The FBI has investigated several large‑scale cryptocurrency frauds. It joined US and Japanese investigators in attributing the theft of more than $300 M from DMM Bitcoin to North Korea’s TraderTraitor group. In the $6.3‑B Binance hack, the FBI named TraderTraitor as the perpetrator and works with Binance to recover $3 B of assets frozen on‑chain. The agency has also opened probes into crypto‑scam operations and has halted personnel such as Abdulrahman Alfozan and Terry Rozier.· Entity summary generated by Graphiti
