The US Department of Justice has seized cryptocurrency worth about $112 million from accounts linked to so-called pig butchering investment scams. After that, JZ tried to withdraw $50,000 from his account, but was told that, due to "blockchain congestion" he couldn't withdraw the funds unless he deposited another $99,000 to become a "VIP member" of the trading platform. Jenny blocked JZ from her social media accounts and never talked to him again
