ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, after a large-scale investigation involving the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office, the U.S. Secret Service's Global Investigative Operations Center (GIOC) seized $225 million worth of cryptocurrency last month.

Over the past decade, the U.S. Secret Service Global Investigative Operations Center team has recovered $400 million in digital assets from criminals. Most of the recovered funds (approximately $400 million) "are stored in a cold wallet."
