Law enforcement agencies cracking down on crypto and forex scams

Law enforcement agencies across Europe have begun freezing millions of euros in crypto and fiat assets tied to illegal investment schemes. From fake forex trading platforms to unregulated cryptocurrency brokers, these operations have stolen not just cash—but also huge sums of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital coins from ordinary investors.

"This is one of the most significant crypto asset recovery efforts in history," said a spokesperson from the European Financial Cybercrime Taskforce. "We've traced stolen cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains and exchanges, and for the first time, victims can come forward to file claims on these recovered digital assets."

Many victims never thought they'd see their money again. Giulia, 57, lost €18,000 in Bitcoin to a fake trading platform: "They promised daily returns and even let me watch my balance grow. But when I tried to withdraw my Bitcoin, they suddenly demanded new 'security fees.' In the end, everything disappeared."

Investigation Results

In 2024 alone, over $400 million worth of digital assets were reported stolen across Europe. These numbers are likely just the tip of the iceberg, as many victims remain silent out of fear or embarrassment. But now, thanks to coordinated efforts between regulators, blockchain investigators, and recovery specialists, thousands could finally get a second chance.

Authorities warn that no one is immune:

  • Fraudsters use convincing fake apps and websites
  • Hacked social media accounts are used to gain trust
  • Targets range from seasoned investors to everyday savers
  • Fake certificates and customer service lines appear legitimate
  • Time is critical for recovery of digital assets

Recovery Process

Anna P., a nurse from Toronto, lost her Ethereum savings to a "licensed" broker that turned out to be a fraud: "I still can't believe it. They had fake certificates and even a customer service line. It felt safe until I tried to cash out."
