AI summary
The FBI reported that scam centers have stolen roughly $17 billion, and a coordinated West African enforcement week led to 28 arrests. Authorities removed over 3.7 million online accounts, pages and groups and identified more than $11 million in potentially freezable funds. The crackdown targets fraud infrastructure rather than crypto markets directly, so it is unlikely to move major token prices, though it may affect sentiment around crypto-related scams.
