The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation division has named four cryptocurrency-related cases among its top ten “most prominent and high-profile investigations” for 2023. These cases include investigations into the Silk Road marketplace, OneCoin, Oyster Protocol founder “Bruno Block,” and a money laundering scheme using Bitcoin kiosks.
"Our investigators have dismantled international tax schemes that preyed on people's personal information, investigated multi-level marketing schemes involving cryptocurrency, and uncovered one of the largest fraud schemes in history surrounding renewable fuel credits," said Jim Le, the division's chief, in a statement.
