Seizures of Tron Wallets for Forfeiture
One crypto network growing quickly is Tron, known for its faster transaction times, low fees, and stability. Tron is registered in the British Virgin Islands. The most dominant cryptocurrency on the Tron network is Tether, the third-largest cryptocurrency token. As the largest stablecoin, Tether strives for a 1:1 peg with the US dollar.
A Tron wallet is a digital application that allows users to store, send, and receive cryptocurrency including its native token TRX. The Tron wallets acts as a digital address where users can manage their TRX holdings. Tron wallets, like any cryptocurrency wallet, can be seized if law enforcement believes the funds within are connected to criminal activity.
Law enforcement officers in the United States can obtain seizure warrants targeting Tron wallets for forfeiture under state or federal law. The seizures are based on suspected involvement in illegal activities such as fraud, theft, drug trafficking, money laundering, or ransomware attacks.
To obtain the seizure warrant, law enforcement officers should present evidence of a nexus between the crime committed and the cryptocurrency being targeted for seizure.

At Sammis Law Firm, we understand the tactics used by blockchain investigations specialists and financial crime investigators when seizing Tether cryptocurrency on the Tron network.
If law enforcement officers have targeted your Tron wallet for criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings under state or federal law, contact an experienced attorney at Sammis Law Firm. We can help you provide information to law enforcement to demonstrate that there is no nexus between the criminal activity and the Tron wallet, or that you are an innocent owner who purchased the cryptocurrency without any knowledge that it was tainted.
From the moment the Tron wallet is frozen at the request of any law enforcement agency in the United States, we can begin the representation. For investigations outside the United States, you should contact an attorney in that jurisdiction.
If you are innocent of any criminal wrongdoing, you might first contact the the stablecoin issuers like Tether to find out why the account was frozen. If Tether notifies you that the funds are frozen at the request of a law enforcement agency in the United States, you probably need an attorney. The stablecoin issuer might give you the name or email address of the lead investigator that requested the funds to be frozen or seized.
While the account is frozen and/or immediately after the seizure, we can help you determine the best course of action to take. We can also assist you in filing a verified claim and determining if you are entitled to a preliminary hearing to demonstrate that probable cause does not exist. For federal seizures, we can help you file a claim for court action or file a motion for return of property in the appropriate U.S. District Court.
Seizures should be conducted with transparency and adherence to legal procedures. Innocent owners should be able to contest the freeze order, seizure order, or forfeiture.

What Makes Tron Unique?
Tron is a blockchain that supports smart contracts and decentralized applications. Developers can use Tron’s native token is TRX in their applications. Tron is maintained by the Tron Decentralized Autonomous Organization (“DAO”), a Singapore-based nonprofit organization.
Unlike similar blockchain projects, TRX is not used on the Tron blockchain to pay transaction fees. Instead, Tron uses bandwidth points as payments. By default, each user has 600 bandwidth points, which represent 600 bytes of data. Transactions are measured in how many bytes they occupy in a block, so if a transaction is larger than the amount allowed by default, the user must purchase more bandwidth points. More bandwidth points can be acquired by staking TRX.
In addition to query operations, any on-chain transaction will consume system resources. All types of transactions need to consume bandwidth. In addition to consuming bandwidth, smart contract deployment and calling transactions also consume energy. When the available bandwidth or energy in the account is insufficient, TRX needs to be burned to pay for the corresponding resource fee. In addition to resource fees, some special transactions require additional fees.
