On 28 April, a news release from US Immigration & Customs Enforcement advised that US Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in partnership with ACAMS issued an alert today outlining AML red flags and compliance guidance associated with so-called “pig-butchering”, a rising global fraud scheme that targets victims by earning their confidence over the course of weeks or months before soliciting money for fraudulent crypto-asset investments. The alert was issued as part of the CORNERSTONE outreach project.
