U.S. authorities have confiscated over $400 million in assets for compensation. Victims who previously provided information to the FBI or prosecutors will be contacted by RCB Fund Services. Prosecutors stated that the compensation process is free of charge. The founder of AirBit Club was charged with money laundering and fraud by the Southern District of New York in August 2020.
