Americans were duped out of more than $5.6 billion last year through fraud schemes involving cryptocurrency, the FBI said in a report released Monday that shows a 45% jump in losses from 2022.
The FBI received nearly 70,000 complaints in 2023 by victims of financial fraud involving bitcoin, ether and other cryptocurrencies, according to the FBI. The most rampant scheme was investment fraud, which accounted for $3.96 billion of the losses.
“The decentralized nature of cryptocurrency, the speed of irreversible transactions, and the ability to transfer value around the world make cryptocurrency an attractive vehicle for criminals, while creating challenges to recover stolen funds,” wrote Michael Nordwall, assistant director of the FBI’s criminal investigative division.

So let us take care of your crypto. We’ll make sure you ar screwed out of all it.
How much did crooked democrat and GOPe politicians rip off America for last year?
Well if the FBI is telling us this then, it must be… Oh, wait.
A currency based on nothing but electron flow.
Nothing tangible, no intrinsic value.
Worse then investing in tulip bulbs (Dutch 17th century) or US Goobermrnt issued fiat paper currency.
Nope, not investing.
These scam coning are getting crazy………. Someone just shilled me:
27 trillion in circulation
unlimited supply cap
only 1 node
25% of supply minted in last 6 months
1% holders own 30%
Larry that’s the US dollar
Pure gambling… and we all know the House always wins.
I’m still holding on to my Beanie Babies.
Guns and ammo are the way to go.
How much will/have open borders stolen from Americans??
Crypto would probably make a great laundering vehicle. Probably why the feds are so interested. The big guys Ukraine kickbacks have to be clean y’know
Sorry sir, but your bribe must be in doge coin..
That pales compared to the many billions that Americans lost to the stock market in fraudulent scams. The SEC can wipe kiss my unwiped ass.
Less than the billions we lost giving to Ukraine trying to start WWIII.
