Of the 19 defendants, 16 were arrested last night and today as part of an FBI operation. One was arrested beforehand, and two remain at large. These arrests are the result of a multi-year effort by federal and international law enforcement to find fraud and money-laundering operations conducted by an organized crime network. Four indictments brought a total of four indictments for the following schemes: online vehicle fraud, business email compromise (BEC), unlicensed money transmitting network, and international money laundering conspiracy.”]
