Citibank accused of ignoring signs of 20 million USD crypto romance scam

In the lawsuit, Zidell alleges that Citibank failed to act on suspicious transactions totaling around 4 million USD, resulting in significant financial losses. He asserts that the bank neglected to investigate unusual account activity despite the substantial sums involved.

Romance scams have surged, leading to losses of over 5.5 billion USD last year. Zidell’s case reflects a troubling trend, as scammers increasingly exploit emotional connections to defraud victims, often involving cryptocurrency investments.
