The post Circle Refused to Recover a Scam Victim’s USDC, Wisconsin’s Criminal Complaint Says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Wisconsin prosecutors have filed a criminal complaint against Circle, alleging the USDC issuer intentionally disobeyed a court warrant to recover roughly 381,000 stolen tokens for a local scam victim. The misdemeanor charge sharpens a dispute over how much responsibility stablecoin issuers bear for returning stolen funds. A Romance Scam Set the Criminal Complaint Against Circle in Motion A Walworth County resident received an unsolicited text in May 2025 from a scammer calling herself Lenora.

Speaking at the Reuters NEXT Asia conference in Singapore on July 9, 2026, Co-CEO Richard Teng confirmed that multiple EU member states have invited the exchange to apply for a Binance MiCA license under the bloc’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework.
