Federal authorities have seized the domain veriftools.net as part of an operation to combat fraudulent verification services. Following the seizure, the website's operators have announced plans to relaunch under a new domain, veriftools.com, raising concerns about the continuity of their services and potential for ongoing scams.

Zhimin Qian, also known as the "Bitcoin Queen," was convicted for her role in a fraudulent Bitcoin scheme that defrauded over 128,000 investors in China, resulting in the world's largest cryptocurrency seizure valued at £5.5 billion. The Metropolitan Police seized 61,000 Bitcoin during their investigation, making it the largest single cryptocurrency seizure in history. Qian attempted to launder the funds in the UK after fleeing China, leading to a multi-year investigation with international cooperation.
