The crime-fighting arm of the IRS, which tracks financial crimes and hunts down pricey properties of sanctioned Russian elites, identified more than $32 billion in funds during the past fiscal year for eventual seizure, the agency reported Thursday.
Jim Lee, chief of IRS Criminal Investigation, said that's a “huge” amount — three times what was identified in the previous year. And the amount of money seized in stolen cryptocurrency — more than $7 billion — doubled from the previous year, he said.
