中央调查局（CBI）在五个州的60多个地点进行了为期两天的搜查后，已扣押了价值239.4亿卢比的加密货币

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.

官员周三表示，中央调查局（CBI）在周三在五个州的60多个地点进行了为期两天的搜查，与6600亿卢比的GainBitCoin骗局有关，扣押了价值239.4亿卢比的加密货币。

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，孟买，浦那，Nanded，Kolhapur，Kolhapur，Bengaluru，Chandigarh，Chandigarh，Mohali，Jhansi，Jhansi和Hubli等60多个地点进行的。该机构对案件的调查始于最高法院由于行动的广泛性质及其所带来的国际后果而将调查移交给CBI之后。

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发言人说，该机构已夺取了大量的罪名证据和虚拟数字资产，进一步揭示了加密货币欺诈的程度。

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.

在搜索过程中，CBI抓住了多个硬件加密钱包，121个文档，34个笔记本电脑和硬盘，12个手机以及来自电子邮件和即时消息应用程序的数据转储，现在正在分析这些信息以追踪挪用资金并确定任何潜在的国际财务交易。

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计划于2015年由Amit Bhardwaj晚期启动，以及他的兄弟Ajay Bhardwaj和其他同事，作为PONZI计划，承诺投资者每月10％的比特币投资回报率18个月。

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.

该计划在多层营销结构下运作，通过提供有利可图的推荐委员会来吸引更多的投资者。最初，付款是用比特币进行的，但是随着2017年骗局开始崩溃，投资者得到了一个名为MCAP的内部加密货币的补偿，该加密货币的价值大大降低。

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

过渡进一步欺骗了投资者，导致了巨大的财务损失。

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.

该案还由执法局（ED）进行了调查，该局以前已附上价值价值的资产，并逮捕了多个个人，包括阿米特·巴德瓦（Amit Bhardwaj）的家庭成员和伙伴。
