Cybercrime Spring Cleaning: How Interpol’s HAECHI IV Operation Jackpotted $300 Million from Global Fraudsters

In a real-life cybercrime thriller, Interpol’s “Global Cybercrime Takedown Operation”, HAECHI IV, became the hit of the summer. Imagine law enforcement Avengers, seizing $300 million and arresting 3,500 cybercriminals, from romance scammers to online gambling kingpins. It’s like a global spring cleaning of the internet, only with more subpoenas and fewer feather dusters.

Hot Take:

Yet, the coolest part was when they swooped in on a "high-profile online gambling criminal" who'd been playing hide-and-seek with them for two years. And of course, the grand finale - seizing a whopping $300 million! Now, that's what I call a jackpot.
