Disruption Week was a coordinated public-private enforcement operation announced on June 3, 2026 by the U.S. Department of Justice's Scam Center Strike Force. The operation targeted Southeast Asian cryptocurrency investment fraud networks — commonly known as pig butchering scams — resulting in the disruption of more than 1.4 million social media accounts, the freezing of approximately $3.8 million in cryptocurrency, the removal of thousands of Starlink kits from scam compounds, and seven arrests in Thailand. This was the first major coordinated action of its kind, combining federal law enforcement with Apple, Coinbase, Google, Meta, Microsoft, SpaceX, and multiple international law enforcement agencies.
