CBI在GainBitcoin騙局中佔領了價值239.4億盧比的加密貨幣

中央調查局（CBI）在五個州的60多個地點進行了為期兩天的搜查後，已扣押了價值239.4億盧比的加密貨幣

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has seized cryptocurrencies valued at Rs 23.94 crore following two-day searches at more than 60 locations across five states in connection with the Rs 6,600-crore GainBitcoin scam case, officials said on Wednesday.

官員周三表示，中央調查局（CBI）在周三在五個州的60多個地點進行了為期兩天的搜查，與6600億盧比的GainBitCoin騙局有關，佔領了價值239.4億盧比的加密貨幣。

The searches were carried out on February 25 and 26 across more than 60 locations in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Nanded, Kolhapur, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Mohali, Jhansi, and Hubli, among other cities. The agency’s probe into the case began after the Supreme Court handed over the investigation to the CBI due to the expansive nature of the operation and the international ramifications it entailed.

搜索是在2月25日和26日在德里，孟買，浦那，Nanded，Kolhapur，Kolhapur，Bengaluru，Chandigarh，Chandigarh，Mohali，Jhansi，Jhansi和Hubli等60多個地點進行的。該機構對案件的調查始於最高法院由於行動的廣泛性質及其所帶來的國際後果而將調查移交給CBI之後。

The CBI spokesperson said that the agency has seized significant incriminating evidence and virtual digital assets, further unravelling the extent of the cryptocurrency fraud.

CBI發言人說，該機構已奪取了大量的罪名證據和虛擬數字資產，進一步揭示了加密貨幣欺詐的程度。

During the searches, the CBI seized multiple hardware crypto wallets, 121 documents, 34 laptops and hard disks, 12 mobile phones, and data dumps from email and instant messaging apps, which are now being analysed to trace misappropriated funds and identify any potential international financial transactions.

在搜索過程中，CBI抓住了多個硬件加密錢包，121個文檔，34個筆記本電腦和硬盤，12個手機以及來自電子郵件和即時消息應用程序的數據轉儲，現在正在分析這些信息以追踪挪用資金並確定任何潛在的國際財務交易。

The GainBitcoin scheme, launched in 2015 by late Amit Bhardwaj, along with his brother Ajay Bhardwaj and other associates, operated as a Ponzi scheme promising investors a 10 per cent monthly return on Bitcoin investments for 18 months.

GainBitCoin計劃於2015年由Amit Bhardwaj晚期啟動，以及他的兄弟Ajay Bhardwaj和其他同事，作為PONZI計劃，承諾投資者每月10％的比特幣投資回報率18個月。

The scheme functioned under a multi-level marketing structure, attracting more investors by offering lucrative commissions for referrals. Initially, payouts were made in Bitcoin, but as the scam began to collapse in 2017, investors were instead compensated with an in-house cryptocurrency called MCAP, which had significantly lower value.

該計劃在多層營銷結構下運作，通過提供有利可圖的推薦委員會來吸引更多的投資者。最初，付款是用比特幣進行的，但是隨著2017年騙局開始崩潰，投資者得到了一個名為MCAP的內部加密貨幣的補償，該加密貨幣的價值大大降低。

The transition further defrauded investors, leading to massive financial losses.

過渡進一步欺騙了投資者，導致了巨大的財務損失。

The case is also being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which has previously attached assets worth crores and arrested multiple individuals, including family members and associates of Amit Bhardwaj.

該案還由執法局（ED）進行了調查，該局以前已附上價值價值的資產，並逮捕了多個個人，包括阿米特·巴德瓦（Amit Bhardwaj）的家庭成員和夥伴。
