So we did have conversations with a lot of the money mules.

And many of the money mules were arrested by their local police.

We did not arrest any of the money mules or prosecute them.

I'll let you.

At least $4 million.

We had identified over 1,000 U.S.

victims.

Well, and I was going to say one of my favorite moments in this case was actually, you know, we'd been watching this group for almost 10 years and had identified, like I said, over a thousand victims of eBay fraud.

And so it was so frustrating to know that this was continuing to go on year after year after year.

And then finally, we were in Romania when they arrested him.

And the day after we arrested him, I turned to Ryan and I said,

Master Fraud is in jail right now.

Like, it's done.

We have stopped the fraud and the victimization.

Right.

And then, of course, Symantec and AOL were hugely instrumental.

That's what I'm doing.

I'm flying to Chicago tomorrow morning for an ABA conference.

Now that I'm retired, I've created a nonprofit called

called Crypto Cops Academy that is dedicated to teaching law enforcement as well as students all about cryptocurrency in hopes to, one, instruct law enforcement so that they can better investigate crimes involving crypto, but then also to instruct the students, young people, all about crypto and how it works and how to keep their crypto safe and how to not fall for scams involving cryptocurrency as well.
