    US Government controlled addresses are moving funds again, this time relating to the confiscated funds from Wanpadet Sae-Heng of Thailand. Last night, 97.3 BTC or $8.46M worth was transferred to a fresh address, bc1qs, after passing through another address, bc1q7. Shortly after, 884.3 ETH or $1.77M worth  was transferred out to 0xBf7, another fresh Ethereum address.

    The assets were seized from a Binance account belonging to Sae-Heng, in relation to a “pig-butchering” investment fraud scheme. A "pig butchering" scam is a long-term fraud where scammers build trust with victims online, often through romance or friendship, before manipulating them into investing in fake cryptocurrency schemes, ultimately "slaughtering" them financially. While the bulk of the seized assets comprise BTC and ETH, it is reported to also include assets such as Dogecoin and Cardano as well.
