Florida prosecutors seized $1.5 million in crypto, including Dogecoin, Solana, and Pepe tokens, from a wallet tied to a Chinese national in a Citrus County fraud case. Authorities used the fugitive disentitlement statute to trace funds from a $47,421 victim loss and obtained a court order to freeze the full wallet balance. The Office of Statewide Prosecution’s Cyber Fraud Enforcement Unit led the effort. Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the seizure on December 11, 2025. The case reflects how **liquidity and crypto markets** are being monitored under evolving frameworks like the **EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation**.
