FBI Arrests Six Most-Wanted Fraudsters and Seizes Nearly $17 Billion

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests of six fugitives on the bureau’s Most Wanted Fraudsters list, who had spent more than 4,000 days evading arrest combined. Fraud cases linked to the suspects involved losses exceeding $2 billion. In Operation Blackout, a crackdown on international scam centres, the FBI says it seized nearly $17 billion, arrested hundreds of suspected scammers and rescued thousands of trafficked workers. Warnings to more than 10,000 Americans reportedly helped avert an estimated $670 million in potential losses.
