On August 22, according to reports, Interpol announced on Friday that its coordinated "Seregeti Operation 2.0" has successfully arrested 1,209 suspects of cybercrime, who collectively attacked nearly 88,000 victims. It is reported that this operation involved investigators from 18 African countries and the United Kingdom.

The operation began in June of this year and has so far recovered $97.4 million in funds and dismantled 11,432 malicious infrastructures. During the operation, Zambian authorities dismantled a large-scale online investment scam scheme that promised high returns through advertising campaigns, luring approximately 65,000 victims to invest in cryptocurrency, with estimated fraud amounts reaching up to $300 million.

In Angola, investigators dismantled 25 cryptocurrency mining centers, arrested 60 Chinese citizens for illegally validating blockchain transactions, and seized mining and IT equipment worth over $37 million.

The more you catch, the more there is; you can only say that the risk control threshold is not set properly.

High returns are just a trap, whoever believes it is a fool.

High returns mean high risks; it's a lesson learned through blood.
