On May 12th, according to Bitcoin.com reports, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) San Francisco Branch and the Northern District Attorney's Office of California jointly stated that the victims of AML Bitcoin founder Rowland Marcus Andrade's cryptocurrency fraud should submit claims by June 5th. The main culprit of the case, through entities such as the "NAC Foundation", promoted AML Bitcoin and other tokens under the guise of false anti-money laundering technology from 2014 to 2019, and has been sentenced for telecommunications fraud and money laundering. The FBI stressed that under federal law, eligible victims can apply for compensation and legal support. Information must be submitted through designated forms, and late will not be accepted. The authorities also called on the public to help spread information to ensure that more potential victims are informed of their rights. Data show that the case involved tens of millions of dollars, involving a variety of virtual assets such as Black Gold Coin.
