According to Argentine media Infobae, Argentine police arrested 24 people during the "Fake Coins" special operation, froze and seized 8 million USDT, and confiscated nearly 60 million Argentine pesos in cash. The operation carried out a total of 90 synchronized searches, investigating cases involving fake cryptocurrency investment platforms, WhatsApp account theft, and crypto scams, with an estimated loss of about 3 billion Argentine pesos. The largest seizure involved a Chinese-background organization, involving approximately 8 million USD in crypto assets.

The name of the counterfeit currency special operation is quite straightforward, Fake Coins.

3 billion pesos is actually only a few million dollars; the local currency has depreciated too much.

How is on-chain asset freezing operated? Was the private key forced out?

8 million USDT can be frozen instantly, transparent on the blockchain but people have entered.

In Argentina’s economic climate, even scammers and “newbies” are desperate.

This scale is considered a major case in Argentina; 90 synchronized searches suggest something significant.

The largest transaction comes from an organization with a Chinese background; this label is a bit delicate.
