The proposed Combating Money Laundering in Cybercrime Act of 2024 aims<\/a><\/strong> to empower the Secret Service to investigate and prosecute illegal activities related to cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar, Chuck Grassley, and Catherine Cortez Masto, the bill seeks to give the Secret Service broader authority over financial fraud, illicit money transfers, and other crimes involving digital currencies. This move comes in response to rising concerns about the misuse of cryptocurrencies for illegal funding.<\/p>\n

The proposed law mandates the creation of a Government Accountability Report within a year to evaluate the effectiveness of current anti-money laundering efforts. This report would help assess how well law enforcement is handling digital asset crimes.<\/p>\n
