In today's crypto news, Thai police arrested a South Korean man for allegedly helping launder over $50 million in cryptocurrencies through a call center scam. The man, 33, was apprehended at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. The scam lured victims with false investment opportunities, leading to blocked withdrawals once deposits surged. Additionally, the head of the IRS's digital assets division, Trish Turner, resigned after three months and is set to join the crypto tax firm Crypto Tax Girl.
