The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a request to seize approximately $500,000 worth of USDT (Tether USD) from the private wallet of an Iranian drone supplier.

This development comes as part of an ongoing investigation into the sale of drones to Iran by a US-based company. The DOJ alleges that the drones were used for military purposes, which is prohibited under US law.

The request to seize the USDT was made through a court order, and it is believed that the cryptocurrency was held in the private wallet as part of a payment for the drones.

The use of cryptocurrencies like USDT has become increasingly common in illicit transactions due to their perceived anonymity and ease of transfer. However, law enforcement agencies around the world are working to track down and seize these assets as part of efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

The case highlights the challenges of tracking cryptocurrency transactions and the need for cooperation between law enforcement agencies and financial institutions to identify and disrupt illicit activities.

As the use of cryptocurrencies continues to grow, it is likely that we will see more cases like this in the future. The DOJ's efforts to seize USDT from the Iranian drone supplier demonstrate their commitment to holding individuals accountable for violating US laws and regulations.
