China authorities have <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/chinese-police-seized-crypto-assets-worth-4-2b-today-from-plustoken-ponzi">seized over 4 billion dollars</a> worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and several other cryptocurrencies as part of a crackdown on the PlusToken scheme that defrauded over 2 million people. This seizure has been approved by the courts after the ringleaders were convicted of Ponzi-type fraud.</p><p>People often worry that cryptocurrency is a safe-haven for criminals and their assets are untouchable by authorities. This is simply untrue. Massive seizures are possible. Recently the U.S. seized Bitcoin worth over a billion dollars that was related to the infamous 2015 Silk Road case.</p><p>Fears that cryptocurrency allows criminals to operate without risk, is unfounded. Law enforcement is getting better at working within crypto and leveraging the frameworks to aid in investigations and recovery.</p><p></p><p></p></div>
