BlockBeats News, December 13th, according to Decrypt, Florida prosecutors have seized around 1.5 million US dollars in cryptocurrency related to an overseas suspect (Chinese citizen Tu Weizhi). The wallet contained AVAX, DOGE, PEPE, and SOL. The State Attorney's Office's Economic Crimes Unit has obtained a court order to freeze assets held by Tu Weizhi. Tu Weizhi is currently charged with money laundering, grand theft, and organized fraud.

Florida authorities stated that if Tu Weizhi attempts to enter the United States, he will be arrested. Investigators noted that this seizure action stemmed from an investigation. The investigation began in July 2024 when a resident of Orange County reported a loss of $47,421. The resident had wired the money to what appeared to be an online investment scheme. The investigation ultimately traced this funding to a wallet controlled by Tu Weizhi.
