On Tuesday, May 7, 2024, the United States government filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit against approximately 300 ETH.
The forfeiture lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, alleges that ETH is subject to seizure under federal money laundering laws because it constitutes proceeds traceable to criminal activity. Specifically, the government alleges that the cryptocurrency seized on December 6, 2023 was obtained through wire fraud, a violation of federal law.
