FBI 公布 Operation Blackout 战果：从海外诈骗园区查获逾170亿美元、捣毁20多个园区
华盛顿——联邦调查局（FBI）局长 Kash Patel 10月21日在白宫举行的网络犯罪与诈骗圆桌会上公布「Operation Blackout」行动战果：FBI 与司法部（DOJ）及各联邦地区检察官办公室联手，已从海外诈骗园区查获逾170亿美元，并捣毁、拆除了20多个由犯罪集团运营的诈骗园区。这场圆桌会由特朗普总统主持，FBI 于10月22日发布了 Patel 在会上发言的视频。
Patel 说，这些诈骗中心「实际上是城镇和生态系统」，里面关押着被贩运的人，犯罪集团在那里建起专门诈骗美国民众的「帝国」，分布在东南亚、非洲和中东。他说，犯罪集团转移到非洲也没有逃脱：「他们搬到了非洲，我们在那里也抓到了他们。就在两周前，我们在加纳和尼日利亚又逮捕了300人，又查获了1,500万美元——那都是从美国老年人手里骗走的钱。」他还表示，这轮打击已使11,000名美国人免于被骗，避免了合计6.75亿美元的损失。
司法部长 Todd Blanche 在会上说，检察官与执法人员已扣住近10亿美元从美国人手中被盗走的资金；今年4月，FBI 与迪拜警方宣布逮捕至少276人、捣毁至少9个针对美国人的诈骗中心，并已对这些网络的管理者与招募者解封起诉。
特朗普在会上说，美国人去年报告因网络犯罪损失逾200亿美元，近四分之三的美国成年人遭遇过网络诈骗或网络攻击；联邦执法部门今年以来已向逾10,000名正成为诈骗目标的美国人发出警告，避免了至少16亿美元损失，并冻结了近10亿美元与外国诈骗者有关的加密货币、关闭了500多个诈骗网站。出席圆桌会的还有国土安全部长 Markwayne Mullin、国防部长 Pete Hegseth 等官员。
今年3月，特朗普签署行政令，要求联邦各部门合力打击网络诈骗，并设立受害者资金恢复计划。白宫这场圆桌会的整体情况，本站此前已有报道。

FBI Reports Operation Blackout Results: Over $17 Billion Seized from Overseas Scam Compounds, More Than 20 Compounds Demolished
Washington — FBI Director Kash Patel laid out the results of Operation Blackout at a White House roundtable on cybercrime and scams on October 21: the FBI, working with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and U.S. Attorney's offices, has seized more than $17 billion from overseas scam compounds and destroyed and demolished more than 20 compounds run by criminal syndicates. The roundtable was chaired by President Donald Trump, and the FBI released video of Patel's remarks on October 22.
Patel said the scam centres are "literally towns and ecosystems" holding trafficked people, where criminal syndicates have built an empire to fleece American citizens, across Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East. "They moved to Africa. We got them there, too," he said. "Just two weeks ago, we were in Ghana, Nigeria, and we arrested another 300 individuals and seized another $15 million being fleeced from American senior citizens through these scam centre operations." He said the crackdown has also prevented 11,000 Americans from being fleeced of a combined $675 million.
Attorney General Todd Blanche told the roundtable that prosecutors and agents have restrained nearly $1 billion stolen from Americans, and that in April the FBI and Dubai Police announced the arrests of at least 276 individuals and the dismantlement of at least nine scam centres that targeted Americans, with charges unsealed against the networks' managers and recruiters.
President Trump said Americans reported losing more than $20 billion to cyber-enabled crimes over the past year and that almost three-quarters of American adults have been subjected to internet scams or cyber attacks. Federal law enforcement, he said, has warned more than 10,000 Americans who were being targeted this year, preventing at least $1.6 billion in losses, and has frozen nearly $1 billion in cryptocurrency tied to foreign scammers and shut down more than 500 fraudulent websites. Also at the table were Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, among other officials.
In March, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to work together to combat online fraud and establishing a victims' restoration program. GSM previously reported the White House roundtable in full.
