Coinbase, Meta, and SpaceX Participate in U.S. Department of Justice Anti-Fraud Operation, Freeze Over $3.8 Million in Cryptocurrency Assets

2026.06.04 17:00:37

June 4 – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the completion of a multinational anti-fraud operation codenamed “Disruption Week,” during which it partnered with tech and security firms including Apple, Coinbase, Google, Meta, Microsoft, SpaceX, and TRM Labs to freeze over $3.8 million worth of cryptocurrency assets tied to fraudulent activities. Coinbase alone contributed to freezing more than $3 million in assets linked to the scams. The full operation resulted in the closure of over 1.4 million accounts, the deactivation of thousands of Starlink devices, and the arrest of 63 suspects – with Thai police adding seven additional scam-related arrests to the total tally. Authorities also dismantled multiple fraud servers and hosting infrastructure based in Southeast Asia, where the criminal network operated primarily across the border regions of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. The announcement comes against a backdrop of surging crypto fraud losses in the U.S.: FBI data shows American citizens lost more than $7.2 billion to crypto investment fraud in 2025 – a 24% year-over-year increase, compared to $5.8 billion in 2024 and $3.96 billion in 2023. DOJ officials noted fraud groups typically lure recruits with promises of high-paying jobs, then coerce them into carrying out scams targeting victims in the U.S. and other countries worldwide.

Analysis: Bitcoin will not bottom out this quarter; the current sideways consolidation is a false stability, with the real bottom and accumulation window arriving in October.

Market analyst Noname has published a post refuting the current "bottom is already here" narrative, arguing that calling a bottom is premature. The current sideways consolidation essentially reflects indecision, with "hesitation at this level usually preceding a downward breakout before an upward move." The analyst outlined a clear path forecast for the second half of 2026: July will see "false stability" and a bear trap rally, with volatility to flush out weak positions; August will mark the start of the real decline, testing the $50,000 level for the first time; September will extend downward pressure, with a W-bottom structure beginning to form; October will be the actual bottom and accumulation zone, at which point participation strategies will turn aggressive; November will show initial signs of recovery, with prices starting to rebound from the bottom; December will bring the possibility of returning to $100,000 for the first time since the bear market began. The analyst emphasized that the final sell-off is still imminent, though most refuse to believe it. "Don’t let the sideways movement fool you." In terms of rhythm, the decline since the June high is a full liquidation of the three-year rally. Previous bear cycles all ended with corrections of over 80%; the current price is roughly 50% down from its all-time high, so if history repeats, lower targets should still be within expectations. The analyst predicts the final bottom will not drag into the fourth quarter—this cycle will complete in the third quarter. An oversold zone with expanding volume may be observed between August and September, followed by a breakout in the fourth quarter, and returning to $100,000 by year-end will be the minimum rebound target needed for bulls to repair structural damage.
