I'm possibly wrong about the Postal, just searched for seizure news involving them and there seemed to be many and made more of a leap than seems warranted, I guess they just do ops and the seizures are via DoJ/FBI... But in any case ICANN is well known to control DNS and is a US org.

Interesting. It does seem like they are involved, but I do not think the USPIS has jurisdiction over cyber crime unless it invoices mail, although they can participate in inter-agency operations.

> Cybercrimes are crimes committed through the Internet or using computer devices. These crimes almost always intersect with the postal system. That’s why the Postal Inspection Service is committed to protecting the public from criminals who steal digital information for financial gain, revenge, or even political advantage.

I don't understand this part at all.

Neither does anyone else: "In order to preserve operational effectiveness, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service does not discuss its protocols, investigative methods, or tools," and "In sum, not much is known about iCOP" - https://www.snopes.com/articles/393823/usps-icop/
