A 45-year-old Moscow resident reported to the police after not receiving more than 100 million rubles from the family cryptocurrency-mining operation. The Mash Telegram channel reports.
\n
In 2017, a Russian man founded the mining company ‘Skorokhod’. He appointed his 23-year-old son as chief executive, while he continued to invest in the business from time to time. Over the year, the total investments amounted to 18.5 million rubles.
\n
In April 2021, the company began to have problems. The head of the family fired his son from the post and demanded that he hand over control of the cryptocurrency holdings.
\n
According to the victim, Skorokhod’s account should have contained no less than 137 million rubles, but he found only 18 million rubles.
\n
The police are investigating the incident.

Earlier, a criminal group duped a Kazan woman of 970 000 rubles under the pretext of trading and deposit insurance.
