IRS-CI reports that one of the department’s primary investigative focuses is addressing cryptocurrency tax violations.

The Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) reported being involved in a greater proportion of cryptocurrency investigations on December 4.
IRS-CI Chief Jim Lee said in a statement to Bloomberg that about half of all active investigations into digital assets over the past year involved tax issues. By comparison, he noted that three years ago, 90% of active cryptocurrency cases involved money laundering.
The statement was released the same day as the IRS's annual report on criminal investigations. There, Lee said:

Victims were attacked with baseball bats over cryptocurrency profits.
Last month, Hong Kong authorities arrested three teenagers and successfully rescued a 19-year-old victim who had a horrific experience of being assaulted and illegally detained.
Police are actively seeking six additional individuals suspected of involvement, including four men and two women.

According to the South China Morning Post, the victim was lured under the guise of meeting people and trading crypto assets. However, when he arrived at a room at the Harbour Grand Kowloon Hotel on Tak Fung Street, the suspect demanded that he hand over HK$180,000 (about $23,000) in cryptocurrency trading profits.
