American authorities mistakenly transferred the cryptocurrency to a scammer. This happened due to the carelessness of the Drug Enforcement Administration officers.
what is known
In the spring of this year, the Drug Enforcement Administration confiscated more than $500,000 USDT in cryptocurrencies from two accounts on the Binance exchange. The attacker realized how the transfer to the Police Service was carried out.
A department of the Justice Department probably received less than $50 for trial translation. The scammer then created his own cryptocurrency wallet where the first five and last four characters match the address of the Police Service.
The attacker hoped department employees copied the wrong address. And so it happened. As a result, the scammer received $55,000 in cryptocurrency. The Drug Enforcement Administration asked Tether to block the funds, but the cryptocurrency had already been converted. Source: Forbes
