Wu said that according to Cryptonews, scammers stole $2.2 million worth of cryptocurrency from victims through a job scam. Scammers claimed through text messages to help find remote jobs and asked job seekers to deposit US dollars into crypto accounts. Initially, victims were asked to purchase USDT and USDC stablecoins on legitimate platforms such as Coinbase and Gemini, and then transferred them to uncustodial digital wallets. New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit and is seeking to recover the frozen cryptocurrency for the victims and requiring the scammers to pay fines and compensation.
