The U.S. DOJ and FBI announced seizure of a web domain used by the Tai Chang 'Casino Kosai' scam compound to operate pig‑butchering cryptocurrency investment fraud targeting Americans. The action included coordination with platforms to remove apps and display a seizure splash page as part of the Scam Center Strike Force disruption effort.

On Dec. 2 the Department of Justice and FBI disclosed a coordinated seizure of a domain tied to the Tai Chang scam compound, also known as Casino Kosai, which U.S. law enforcement says facilitated large-scale 'pig-butchering' crypto investment fraud aimed at U.S. victims. Authorities described the operation as part of the Scam Center Strike Force effort to disrupt Southeast Asia-based scam compounds that cultivate victims with romance or investment ruses, then persuade them to send crypto to staged trading platforms and wallets. The enforcement action involved partnership with private-sector platforms to remove associated applications, disable accounts and replace the site with an official seizure splash page informing visitors of the law enforcement action. DOJ and FBI statements highlighted investigative work to map infrastructure, trace cryptocurrency flows, and identify money-mule networks and cash-out points. The seizure underscores an enforcement strategy that combines cyber-domain actions, platform cooperation and financial tracing to limit ongoing fraudulent activity and assist victim recovery efforts, while emphasizing continued international and industry collaboration to dismantle transnational crypto scam ecosystems.
