H.R. 2978

GUARD Act

Financial Services Committee, Judiciary Committee · Rep. Zachary Nunn (R-IA)

The bill would allow state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies receiving federal grant funds to use those funds to investigate financial fraud targeting seniors and a specific scam known as "pig butchering," where victims are tricked into sending cryptocurrency to fake investment schemes. It would also authorize federal law enforcement to help local agencies use blockchain tracing tools to pursue these crimes, and require a federal financial crimes agency to report on the scope of these fraud problems and recommend solutions.[AI-Generated]
