Indian Authorities Probe Actress Shilpa Shetty's Husband in Bitcoin Fraud Investigation

印度當局對女演員 Shilpa Shetty 的丈夫進行比特幣詐欺調查

Enforcement Directorate (ED), an Indian law enforcement agency, has launched an investigation into the alleged involvement of Raj Kundra, the husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, in a Bitcoin Ponzi scheme.

印度執法機構執法局 (ED) 對寶萊塢女星 Shilpa Shetty 的丈夫 Raj Kundra 涉嫌參與比特幣龐氏騙局展開調查。

Kundra, a prominent businessman and entrepreneur known for his ventures in various industries, was arrested in July 2021 on charges related to the production and distribution of inappropriate online content. The current investigation centers on his alleged connection to Amit Bhardwaj, the mastermind behind the Gain Bitcoin Ponzi scheme.

昆德拉是一位著名商人和企業家，因其在多個行業的投資而聞名，他於 2021 年 7 月被捕，罪名是製作和傳播不當線上內容。目前的調查集中在他涉嫌與增益比特幣龐氏騙局背後的策劃者 Amit Bhardwaj 的聯繫。

According to ED officials, the investigation has uncovered evidence that Kundra received significant proceeds from the scam, amounting to 285 BTC (approximately INR 150 crore) worth of cryptocurrency. These funds were allegedly used to establish a Bitcoin mining operation in Ukraine.

據 ED 官員稱，調查發現有證據表明 Kundra 從該騙局中獲得了大量收益，價值達 285 BTC（約 15 億印度盧比）的加密貨幣。據稱，這些資金被用來在烏克蘭建立比特幣挖礦業務。

The investigation has revealed that the Gain Bitcoin scheme promised investors exorbitant returns of up to 10% per month. However, the scheme collapsed in 2017, leaving numerous investors defrauded of approximately INR 66,00 crore.

調查顯示，Gain Bitcoin 計劃向投資者承諾每月高達 10% 的高額回報。然而，該計劃於 2017 年失敗，導致眾多投資者被騙約 660 億印度盧比。

While investigators have identified Kundra's involvement in the scheme, they have not yet determined whether he played a direct role in its operation. Nevertheless, ED has attached properties belonging to Kundra, including a residential flat in Mumbai's Juhu area, under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

雖然調查人員已確定昆德拉參與了該計劃，但尚未確定他是否在該計劃的運作中發揮了直接作用。儘管如此，ED 根據《防止洗錢法》(PMLA) 的規定，扣押了屬於 Kundra 的財產，包括孟買 Juhu 地區的一套住宅公寓。

The investigation has also cast a negative light on the use of Bitcoin in India. Critics have argued that such incidents highlight the need for robust crypto-related regulations to protect investors from fraudulent activities. The Indian government has recently taken steps to address this issue, with the introduction of a bill in Parliament that seeks to regulate the use and trading of cryptocurrencies.

該調查也對比特幣在印度的使用產生了負面影響。批評者認為，此類事件凸顯了製定強有力的加密貨幣相關法規的必要性，以保護投資者免受詐欺活動的侵害。印度政府最近採取措施解決這個問題，在議會提出了一項法案，旨在規範加密貨幣的使用和交易。
