U.S. Attorney’s Office recovers and forfeits more than $600,000 in cryptocurrency linked to a fraud scheme in Connecticut. According to court documents, a Connecticut resident identified as “T.M.” received a letter from a purported “Ledger Security & Compliance” in September 2025, claiming a mandatory security check was needed for his Ledger device. Following the instructions, fraudsters compromised the device and stole about $234,000 in cryptocurrency. The FBI and Connecticut State Police traced the stolen coins through multiple wallets and seized roughly $600,000 in Tether. A civil forfeiture complaint was filed, and a U.S. District Court entered a forfeiture decree on March 31, 2026. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David C. Nelson.
