How Ghana’s EOCO and the UK NCA are Using Blockchain Analysis to Return $15 Million to Fraud Victims

An international law‑enforcement and private‑sector operation uncovered and disrupted a Chinese‑Malaysian organized crime group's crypto‑based investment scam targeting thousands (notably in Ghana and the UK). EOCO, Europol, the UK NCA, and exchanges used Chainalysis Reactor for on‑chain clustering, applied administrative freezes and court orders, obtained KYC, and ultimately seized and converted roughly $15.1M for restitution, demonstrating the role of public‑private collaboration and blockchain analysis in cross‑border fraud enforcement.
