According to a Bloomberg report on November 21, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) intends to announce significant cryptocurrency enforcement actions at 09:00 PM (GMT) on November 21. Key officials involved in the announcement include Attorney General Merrick Garland, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and the Chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Rostin Behnam.
As previously reported by BlockBeats, a recent investigation by the DOJ resulted in Tether, the issuer of USDT, actively and voluntarily freezing approximately $225 million in USDT tokens held in external self-hosted wallets. The wallets in question were connected to an international human trafficking group based in Southeast Asia, believed to be involved in a scam known as the "pig-killing plate" that has impacted people globally.
