Money from a cryptocurrency scam in Los Osos has been recovered–at least some of it. San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit first received a report of a financial scam in September 2022. It started with the victims being told a family member had been arrested out of the area. After depositing roughly 17,000 dollars at various cryptocurrency ATMs, the scammers took control of their account. Following a years-long investigation, authorities recovered about 4,700 dollars.
