U.S. Justice Department Seizes Crypto Scam Domain Linked to Southeast Asia

• The United States Department of Justice has seized the domain tickmilleas.com after discovering it was part of a larger network of fraudulent crypto scam platforms run by scammers linked to the Tai Chang compound in Burma.
• Despite being registered only in early November 2025, the website had already caused different Americans to lose significant amounts of money.

The United States Justice Department has announced that the federal authorities have taken control of a website used to deceive people through fake cryptocurrency investment programs. According to what was published on the DOJ site, the seized domain, tickmilleas.com, was part of a network of many other online crypto scam platforms that scammed Americans.

How the Crypto Scam Operated and Targeted U.S. Victims

The scam was operated by individuals connected to the Tai Chang scam compound, located in Kyaukhat, a village in Burma. Prior to the DOJ’s crackdown, the Tai Chang scam compound was very popular for hosting different criminal activities across South Asia. These centers came together and targeted victims by creating convincing online platforms that imitate genuine trading and financial services.

For today, the DOJ has tried to crack down on tickmilleas.com, one of the major centers that caused victims to lose a lot of money. The report showed that tickmilleas.com was designed in such a way that it looked like a trustworthy investment website.

Victims who used the platform agreed to it and even told the FBI that the site, when it was operating, showed fake profits, fake balances, and trading activities that now, looking back, were fabricated. Although the domain was registered only in early November 2025, the FBI has already identified victims that lost their money during the short time the site was operating.

So far, the website has been taken down, and the Strike Force has seized two other domains used by the same group for running scams from the Tai Chang compound. There is also a warning page that appears on the tickmilleas.com website, informing anyone who visits that the domain has been seized by law enforcement agents.
