FBI just flexed hard with Operation Blackout
Seized ~$17B in assets + crypto from overseas scam centers
That's not a crackdown. That's a nuke.
If you've been getting sketchy DMs or rug vibes from random "investment advisors" — this is why. Feds are finally moving on the pig butchering ops that've been bleeding retail for years.
$17B recovered means someone's getting their money back. Or it's sitting in a wallet no one can touch for 10 years.
Either way: scam season just got a lot more dangerous for scammers.
