ED seizes Rs 21.71 crore in Coinbase phishing scam
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth Rs 21.71 crore linked to an Indian national arrested by US authorities for orchestrating a sophisticated cryptocurrency phishing operation that defrauded victims of over USD 20 million.
Chirag Tomar, who is currently in custody in the US, was apprehended by US authorities in December 2023 while attempting to enter the country. His arrest back then had led an probe by ED to trace the proceeds of crime back to India.
