00:01Importantly for the FBI, and thanks to Vice President J.D. Vance's vision, he had an idea.
00:06He said, hey, you guys have a top 10 most wanted list for all gangbangers, terrorists,
00:13narco-traffickers, murderers, and rapists around the world.
00:15How about we have a top 10 list for most wanted fraudsters?
00:18So, Mr. Vice President, thanks to your vision, we're here to deliver, and you see it here today.
00:23It is live, officially on the FBI website.
00:25I want all Americans to take a look at these most wanted individuals
00:28and look at the amounts, the tens of millions and billions of dollars in fraud
00:33that they have decimated our societies from.
00:36We rely on you.
00:38Our best form of information is the American public.
00:41Take a look at this top 10 most wanted.
00:43Let us know any information.
00:45There is no bad piece of information.
00:47The only bad piece of information is the one you don't give us.
00:50So, call 1-800-CALL-FBI or go to FBI.gov and help us apprehend more fraudsters.
00:56The last thing I want to talk about is the work of the FBI and the interagency isn't just domestic.
01:02The fraudsters have created programs overseas that have fleeced Americans of billions of dollars.
01:08The FBI has led that charge against scam center compounds stood up in Southeast Asia and the Middle East,
01:13freeing thousands of trafficked workers.
01:16Just in the last year under the Trump Advanced Administration and the Fraud Initiative,
01:20we have captured and freed $8 billion in fraud in scam centers
01:24that were stood up by the CCP and other adversaries in places like Thailand, Laos and Cambodia and the Middle
01:30East.
01:31And we're working with our interagency and partners across the world
01:34to bring hundreds of individuals to justice.
01:37Just the other week in the Middle East, in Dubai, we arrested 300 individuals responsible for $4 billion in fraud.
01:43They prey on our senior citizens here from overseas.
01:47And this administration has made it abundantly clear.
01:49There is no distance we won't travel to make sure we apprehend each and every one of these individuals.
01:54The FBI is leading the effort to scuttle these scam centers permanently,
01:58to free the traffic workers,
01:59and most importantly, to also secure our taxpayer dollars
02:03and make sure that this $8 billion and counting in scam center fraud
02:06that the FBI has delivered on so far only continues to grow.
02:10And we're going to keep doing it.
02:11I just want to thank the Attorney General, the interagency partnerships here, state and local.
02:16I've said it over and over again.
02:17The FBI's best partners are state and local law enforcement,
02:20and they're here today, and these are the results.
