BlockBeats News, July 6th, According to Bloomberg, the Global Investigations Operations Center (GIOC) of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) seized $225 million in cryptocurrency last month following a large-scale investigation involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Attorney's Office.

Over the past decade, the TSA's Global Investigations Operations Center team has recovered $400 million worth of digital assets from criminals. The majority of the recovered funds (totaling approximately $400 million) "are all held in a cold wallet."

In addition to seizing these cryptocurrencies, the GIOC also held a week-long free training course in over 60 countries/regions to educate local law enforcement officials on how to identify and prevent cryptocurrency-based fraud and crime.
