The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking the extradition of six individuals from Madagascar accused of masterminding an international cryptocurrency scam network. The suspects allegedly defrauded hundreds of Americans using fake dating profiles and NFT investment platforms, with losses totaling over $1 billion. U.S. authorities have blocked the funds and seized 700 fraudulent websites. The case involves judicial cooperation between the U.S. and Madagascar, with Washington expecting Malagasy authorities to facilitate proceedings against the suspects and witnesses.
