Wu said that the Indian Enforcement Directorate (ED) has formally filed charges against the suspected counterfeit Coinbase website and the transnational criminal leader Chirag Tomar and his accomplices for scamming $20 million.


The gang used SEO manipulation and highly realistic fake websites to deceive investors worldwide, stealing crypto assets by tricking users' 2FA verification codes, and laundered money through P2P networks and shell companies.
Currently, the case has frozen 129 bank accounts belonging to the gang and approximately $7.5 million in assets.
The main culprit, Tomar, was previously sentenced to 60 months in prison by a U.S. court.

Shell company + P2P money laundering chain—this operations manual might not be an underground paid tutorial.

Swapping for $20 million over 60 months—this ROI is way higher than DeFi mining, but unfortunately it’s prisoner’s tears.

Frozen 7.5 million but scammed 20 million, the remaining money probably already mixed into Tornado.

SEO phishing + 2FA verification code interception, this combo is too classic, beginners simply can't defend against it
