The Justice Department’s new Scam Center Strike Force announced seizure of the domain tickmilleas.com, which investigators say was used by operators inside the Tai Chang (Casino Kosai) scam compound in Kyaukhat, Burma, to run fraudulent cryptocurrency trading apps and fake dashboards. The action involved coordination with the FBI and voluntary takedowns by major platforms; the DOJ urged victims to report losses to IC3.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced seizure of the domain tickmilleas.com after investigators linked it to operators working from the Tai Chang (also known as Casino Kosai) scam compound in Kyaukhat, Burma. Authorities say the domain supported fraudulent cryptocurrency trading applications and counterfeit dashboards used in 'pig‑butchering' investment fraud that coaxed victims into transferring crypto. The operation was coordinated with the FBI and included voluntary removals of related mobile apps by Google and Apple, while Meta removed roughly 2,000 connected social accounts associated with the campaign. The DOJ characterized the seizure as part of work by the newly formed Scam Center Strike Force to disrupt transnational fraud ecosystems and to make it harder for operators to maintain online infrastructure that lures and drains victims. Investigators encouraged anyone who lost money to file complaints with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and preserve transaction records and communications. The agency also called on platforms and financial intermediaries to continue rapid takedowns and to assist in tracing cryptocurrency flows to enhance recovery and enforcement efforts.
