奧裡薩邦警方經濟犯罪部門逮捕了參與加密貨幣投資騙局的詐騙犯

Bhubaneswar, April 16: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Odisha Police has apprehended two individuals, Ved Prakash and Sudhir Patel, for perpetrating a fraudulent scheme that targeted investors in Odisha and Maharashtra by enticing them with high returns on cryptocurrency investments.

布巴內斯瓦爾，4 月16 日：奧裡薩邦警察經濟犯罪部門(EOW) 逮捕了兩名人員，Ved Prakash 和Sudhir Patel，他們實施了一項欺詐計劃，以奧裡薩邦和馬哈拉施特拉邦的投資者為目標，透過加密貨幣投資的高回報來引誘他們。

According to EOW sleuths, prime accused Ved Prakash, a former constable in the Rajasthan Police, was apprehended on April 10 from Anupgarh, Rajasthan. Prakash had been dismissed from service after five years due to misconduct and dereliction of duty.

據 EOW 偵探稱，主要被告韋德·普拉卡什 (Ved Prakash) 是拉賈斯坦邦警察局的一名前警員，於 4 月 10 日在拉賈斯坦邦阿努普加爾被捕。普拉卡什在五年後因不當行為和疏忽而被解僱。

Sudhir Patel, the Odisha-based head of the operation, was arrested on April 14 in Sundargarh, Odisha.

奧裡薩邦行動負責人蘇迪爾·帕特爾 (Sudhir Patel) 於 4 月 14 日在奧裡薩邦 Sundargarh 被捕。

The arrests stem from a complaint filed by Prem Sagar Khamari, a victim who lost over Rs 48 lakhs in the fraudulent scheme. Khamari received a mere Rs 20,000 against his investment.

這次逮捕源於 Prem Sagar Khamari 提出的投訴，他是該詐欺計劃中損失超過 480 萬盧比的受害者。卡馬裡的投資僅獲得 20,000 盧比。

Khamari's complaint alleges that the accused lured investors, primarily in western Odisha, into investing in various crypto schemes, including ENG Crypto, Entice Capital, USDT Club, ADS Exchange, and CRIT 11, promising high returns and even doubling their investments. However, the accused neither invested in cryptocurrency nor returned the funds to the victims.

Khamari 的投訴稱，被告誘騙投資者（主要是西奧裡薩邦）投資各種加密貨幣計劃，包括ENG Crypto、Entice Capital、USDT Club、ADS Exchange 和CRIT 11，承諾高回報，甚至將投資增加一倍。然而，被告既沒有投資加密貨幣，也沒有將資金退還給受害者。

EOW sources revealed that in 2022, the accused and their associates conducted promotional events in various parts of Odisha. They targeted victims, many of whom were unfamiliar with computers, with misleading brochures and leaflets, promising quick and substantial returns on cryptocurrency investments. Victims were also incentivized to attract more investors.

EOW 消息人士透露，2022 年，被告及其同夥在奧裡薩邦各地開展了促銷活動。他們以誤導性的小冊子和傳單為目標，其中許多人不熟悉計算機，並承諾透過加密貨幣投資獲得快速而豐厚的回報。受害者也受到激勵來吸引更多投資者。

The fraudsters used the funds collected from new investors to pay promised returns to existing investors, a scheme known as a Ponzi scheme. The EOW estimates that the duo defrauded approximately 500 investors in Odisha, amounting to over Rs 15 crore. The accused also victimized several individuals in Maharashtra.

詐騙者利用從新投資者收集的資金向現有投資者支付承諾的回報，這種騙局被稱為龐氏騙局。 EOW 估計，這兩人詐騙了奧裡薩邦約 500 名投資者，金額超過 1.5 億盧比。被告還在馬哈拉施特拉邦傷害了數人。

The EOW has stated that the Maharashtra Police will be informed about the scam and the perpetrators. On Monday, Prakash and Patel were presented before the designated court under the Orissa Protection of Interests of Depositors (OPID) Act, Cuttack.

EOW 表示，將向馬哈拉施特拉邦警方通報該騙局和肇事者。週一，普拉卡什和帕特爾根據《奧裡薩邦儲戶利益保護法》(OPID) 向克塔克指定法院出庭。

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with cryptocurrency investments and the importance of due diligence before investing. Investors are urged to exercise caution and thoroughly research the credentials of investment platforms and individuals offering high-yield returns.

事件清楚提醒人們，加密貨幣投資存在風險，以及投資前盡職調查的重要性。請投資人謹慎行事，並徹底研究提供高收益回報的投資平台和個人的資格。
