Uncle Sam strangles criminals' cashflow by reining in money mules
Uncle Sam announced its commenced over 4,000 legal actions in three months — mostly harshly worded letters — to rein in"money mules" involved in romance scams, business email compromise, and other fraudulent schemes.
The law-enforcement actions targeted both groups. This includes criminal prosecutions against those who knowingly helped fraudsters, as well as warning letters sent to those who the Feds think maybe didn't realize their role in the larger criminal ecosystem. Yes, the US Post Office played a role in a crackdown that involved serving some 4,000 letters warning people that their activities are facilitating fraud. Then it was back to delivering all those ecommerce packages.
In addition to the written scoldings outlining potential consequences for continuing to transmit illegal funds, the Feds also filed 12 civil or administrative actions, and criminal charges against 25 people for participating in the money laundering processes.
