DOJ Charges 10 Foreign Nationals in Crypto Price Manipulation Case; Over $1M Seized
The U.S. Department of Justice announced charges on March 30 against 10 people linked to four firms accused of rigging digital-asset prices through coordinated trading. Prosecutors allege the scheme inflated volume and valuations, then sold tokens to "unwitting investors," and authorities say more than $1 million in cryptocurrency has been seized.
