According to CoinMeta, on September 28th, federal prosecutors from Massachusetts, USA, filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit requesting the confiscation of 110,300 USDT from a Binance account that was seized. The case involved phishing messages impersonating Coinbase, which resulted in the theft of 33.7 bitcoins from one beneficiary and their family trust within the same Coinbase account, valued at approximately $900,000 at the time. Investigators stated that between June 5th and 15th, 2023, 11.2 of the stolen bitcoins were traced back to this Binance account and were quickly exchanged for Monero coins. When FBI requested the freezing of the account, it held about 758.55 Monero coins. On August 3rd, 2026, Binance transferred 110,300 USDT to a government-controlled wallet.
