U.S. authorities have seized $15 billion in bitcoin, tying it to an international cyberfraud ring allegedly led by Chen Zhi, a Cambodian businessman and head of Prince Group. The operation reportedly used forced labor to run scam centers in Southeast Asia, targeting victims worldwide with “pig butchering” scams — elaborate schemes where fraudsters build trust with individuals online, coax them into fake crypto investments, and then disappear with the funds.

These scams have cost victims tens of billions globally and are a growing vector for financial crime. The case highlights how digital money intersects with coercion, cross-border decep tion, and regulatory blind spots. But it also shows the increasing ability of governments to track and confiscate illicit assets on-chain.

As a result, the U.S. now holds $15 billion worth of bitcoin — whether as evidence, forfeited assets, or part of eventual redistribution, it adds to a growing pile. Intentional or not, this is one way a government begins stacking sats.

Bitcoin: Key Levels & Sentiment Check

Friday’s sharp move cleared ~$20B in crypto liquidations. Bitcoin fell ~14%, bounced over the weekend to ~$115K, but has since slipped back toward ~$111K.

What to Watch:

Support: $110K–$112K is critical. If it breaks, downside could accelerate.

Resistance: $116K is first hurdle; above that, eyes on $123K+.

Sentiment: “Around 30% of all Bitcoin has a cost basis above $95K” — Checkmate.

That means a large chunk of the market is now in the red — and conviction is being tested.

This week will tell us if the bulls can regain control or if we’re heading deeper into risk-off territory.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Luxembourg’s state-owned investment arm, SNCI, may be preparing to allocate a portion of its assets to Bitcoin.

No official announcement has been made by the Luxembourg government or SNCI. Local and European media have not yet verified the claim.

If confirmed, it would mark the first known case of a European public investment fund stepping into Bitcoin.

One to watch. 👀
