                   息宣传活动,提醒公众对不断演变的诈骗手段保持高度警觉。


                        在此次会议上,除了执法和监管机构的代表发表演讲外,CFTC 主席 Rostin

                   Behnam 和 NCET 主任 Claudia Quiroz 也分别发表了讲话。


                   First Interagency Fraud Disruption Conference Focuses on Combatting Crypto

                   Schemes Commonly Known as “Pig Butchering” (2024/7/11)


                        The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Department of Justice’s

                   Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section’s National Cryptocurrency

                   Enforcement Team (NCET) announced today they convened the first Fraud

                   Disruption Conference to work on efforts to combat a type of fraud commonly known

                   as “pig butchering.” It is estimated that Americans are scammed out of billions per

                   year, making this a top law enforcement priority.


                        This is the first of a series of Fraud Disruption conferences the CFTC will host

                   with these and other partners to discuss various financial frauds to explore new

                   avenues to combat or disrupt the scams.


                        “It is devastating to hear countless stories of everyday Americans being targeted

                   and defrauded by global criminal organizations,” said Chairman Behnam. “It has been


                   a longstanding priority of mine to reenergize and grow our customer protection

                   initiatives to combat retail fraud and protect the most vulnerable among us. I thank

                   our CFTC staff for their dedication, and our longstanding partners at the Department

                   of Justice and all others involved. By working together, we can tackle this problem.”


                        “More than 300 federal regulators and law enforcement officials from more than

                   15 federal agencies (listed below) joined the CFTC today to develop measurable

                   strategies to fight this scam that has defrauded Americans of their entire life savings,”

                   said Office of Customer Education and Outreach (OCEO) Director Melanie Devoe.

                   “This is one of many scams working groups will discuss at future gatherings with the

                   ultimate goal of working collaboratively to help Americans protect themselves from
