The U.S. Department of Justice has seized a cloud account that operated Huione Guarantee, a Telegram-based marketplace linked to billions of dollars in crypto laundering tied to Southeast Asian scam operations. The infrastructure reportedly served as a backbone for facilitating illicit transactions and connecting buyers and sellers involved in fraudulent schemes. Huione Guarantee has been associated with money flows stemming from scam centers operating across the region, which authorities say generated substantial criminal proceeds. The action represents part of broader law enforcement efforts to disrupt the technical systems enabling large-scale crypto-related fraud and money laundering. By targeting underlying infrastructure rather than only individual accounts, the DOJ aims to dismantle key components that allow such marketplaces to function. The seizure underscores ongoing scrutiny of platforms accused of providing services to cybercriminal networks and facilitating the movement of illicit digital assets.
