🚨 The White House is cracking down on crypto scams, but your best defense is still yourself
According to Reuters, citing a White House official, Trump will highlight the government’s efforts to combat crypto scams targeting Americans at an event focused on cybercrime prevention.
The guest list is a big one: Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Todd Blanche.
The figures behind this are sobering:
🔹 The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York just shut down 241 scam websites and seized 112 servers linked to a transnational network
🔹 FBI data shows that internet fraud complaints topped 1 million last year, up 17%
🔹 Crypto-related losses exceeded $11 billion in 2025
Of course, there are differing views in the comments. Some welcome stronger protections, while others question them in light of the Trump family’s own crypto ventures.
My take: Seizing servers and shutting down websites is damage control after the fact—scammers can just switch domains and start up again. A few tried-and-true rules are what can really protect your wallet:
Never touch platforms where strangers promise you “guaranteed profits”;
If you have to deposit money before you can withdraw, it’s almost certainly a scam;
Verify any links or “customer service” messages through official channels first.
