United States and British law enforcement leaders formally launched a joint crackdown on Chinese-linked scam centers during a live signing ceremony Thursday at the Washington residence of Britain’s ambassador.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro appeared at the event with Crown Prosecution Service Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson and National Crime Agency Director General Graeme Biggar. The three officials signed a first-of-its-kind memorandum governing international cooperation against cryptocurrency and cyber-enabled investment fraud.
