US, UK launch joint alliance targeting crypto scam centers

The United States and United Kingdom have formed a joint law enforcement alliance targeting scam centers involved in crypto and cyber-enabled investment fraud. The agreement includes parallel investigations and information sharing, with US and UK authorities planning a private-sector disruption operation in London in October. The DOJ described it as the "first-of-its-kind" international cooperation agreement aimed at disabling such scam centers, with authorities already identifying overlapping cases and planning an in-person disruption operation with private-sector partners in London in early October.
