Analysis
New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit accusing a group of cryptocurrency scammers of stealing at least $2.2 million from New Yorkers through fake remote work opportunities. James hopes to be the first regulator to sue unidentified scammers through airdropped NFTs. The lawsuit suggests that NFTs are becoming a new tool for crypto scammers to launder money and evade law enforcement. By airdropping NFTs, scammers can convert stolen funds into assets that are more difficult to track, and leverage the anonymity and untraceability of NFTs to hide their identities. This lawsuit also serves as a reminder for individuals to be cautious when investing in the cryptocurrency space and to be aware of scams.
