Tether announced today the successful assistance to the Royal Thai Police and the U.S. Secret Service in conducting an international joint operation to track and seize approximately 12 million USDT (worth about 400 million Thai Baht) of digital assets. These assets are related to a large active multinational fraud network in Southeast Asia. The operation was led by the Thai Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), resulting in the arrest of 73 suspects (including 51 Thai nationals and 22 foreigners) and the seizure of assets valued at over 522 million Thai Baht. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that this operation highlights how blockchain transparency empowers law enforcement agencies to effectively combat criminal activities. It is reported that Tether has cooperated with more than 290 law enforcement agencies across 59 jurisdictions worldwide, freezing over 3.2 billion USD in assets related to illegal activities, and will continue to work towards promoting transparency and security in the digital asset field.
