The Justice Department announced the seizure of the web domain tickmilleas.com, which federal investigators say was used by the Tai Chang (aka Casino Kosai) scam compound in Myanmar to run cryptocurrency investment frauds that targeted U.S. victims. The affidavit states the site impersonated a trading platform, displayed fabricated balances and returns, and coerced users to download malicious scam apps; law enforcement and major tech companies moved to disrupt the infrastructure.

The Department of Justice disclosed the seizure of tickmilleas.com after investigators tied the domain to a Myanmar‑based Tai Chang scam compound that operated so‑called “pig‑butchering” cryptocurrency investment schemes. According to the DOJ affidavit, the site mimicked a legitimate trading platform and presented victims with counterfeit account balances and inflated returns to induce further investment. Visitors were frequently prompted to install mobile applications that functioned as part of the scheme’s payment and money‑laundering pipeline. The seizure follows coordinated disruption efforts with private technology companies and other law enforcement agencies; Google, Apple and Meta assisted by removing apps and social accounts linked to the compound. The DOJ emphasized that the domain played a central role in soliciting and maintaining victim trust while directing funds into crypto wallets and international accounts. Authorities urged victims who lost funds to report to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to aid ongoing investigative and recovery efforts.
