Thousands lose over Rs 200 cr in series of crypto rug-pulls in Himachal

Police are yet to nab the cryptocurrency fraud kingpin who may have swindled thousands of people across Himachal Pradesh of more than Rs 200 crore since 2018, the year the crypto fever reached its peak. The gang lured people by promising high returns in a short span of time in crypto investments and created a network of investors. The initial investors then were baited to reel in other people in a ponzi-style scheme. The matter was raised in the Vidhan Sabha by Independent MLA Hoshyar Singh who pegged the amount of money swindled from people in Kangra and Hamirpur alone to be upwards of Rs 200 crore. In the wake of Singh's assembly speech, a special investigation team was formed to probe into the matter. The exact amount defrauded is yet to be ascertained, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Northern Range, Abhishek Dhullar, who is heading the SIT, told PTI on Monday. The frauds used a combination of misinformation, deception, and threats to maintain control over their scheme and

Hong Kong to tighten regulation of crypto after arrests linked to JPEX

Hong Kong's leader said on Tuesday that the territory will tighten regulation of digital assets after police arrested six people following allegations of fraud at an unlicensed cryptocurrency exchange in the city. The arrests on Monday followed an announcement by Hong Kong's securities watchdog last week that the exchange, JPEX, was unlicensed and did not have authority to operate its cryptocurrency trading platform in the city. The Securities and Futures Commission said it had received more than 1,400 complaints against JPEX involving more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars (USD 127.9 million) in losses. The SFC also said some investors said complained of being unable to withdraw their virtual assets from JPEX accounts or of finding their balances were reduced and altered. The SFC and police were expected to release details on the case later Tuesday.
