Thai Police Seize $2.5 Million USDT from Alleged Scam Operation.


Thai and Chinese authorities collaborated to arrest two individuals involved in a large-scale scam operation, seizing $2.5 million worth of Tether's USDT stablecoin. The suspects, Ye Wanyou and Li Weijie, were apprehended at a luxury residence, where $44,550 in assets were also confiscated. Further investigations, in partnership with Chinese law enforcement, resulted in the freezing of $2.5 million in USDT. Tether emphasized the traceability of their transactions, leading to the apprehension of criminals. The investigation revealed links to human trafficking along the Thai border, with potential operations in Cambodia and fraudulent activities in Thailand. The suspects face charges of public fraud, with authorities opposing bail. This incident is part of a trend involving Chinese nationals in international scam operations, as seen in previous cases in Nigeria and Hong Kong. The investigation is ongoing, with additional accomplices yet to be apprehended.
