ED Seizes Rs 1,646 Crore in Cryptocurrency in BitConnect Fraud Case

Deccan Chronicle  

The Enforcement Directorate has seized cryptocurrency worth Rs 1,646 crore during its ongoing investigation into the BitConnect cryptocurrency fraud. The seizure, which also includes Rs 13,50,500, an SUV, and several digital devices, follows searches conducted in Gujarat on February 11 and 15. The ED traced a complex network of crypto wallets involved in the transactions, many of which were linked to the dark web to conceal their tracks. However, through diligent tracking of web wallets and gathering intelligence, the agency was able to pinpoint the location of the digital assets and devices involved in the scheme.
