Kyiv prosecutors suspect a local resident of fraud and misappropriation of bitcoins worth about 3 million hryvnias ($111 000). This is reported on the сайте генпрокурора.
\n
According to investigators, the suspect entered into a contract with the victim to manage cryptocurrency assets. She provided false reports on investment returns on a monthly basis.
\n
Subsequently, the victim, convinced of the profitability of the business, handed over more cryptocurrency to the suspect for “management.”
\n
After the contract ended, she refused to transfer both the victim’s investments and a portion of the profits, citing the crypto-market crash.
\n
At the same time, she withdrew the bitcoins to anonymous wallets and transferred the funds to bank accounts.
\n
The prosecutor’s office is investigating a case of fraud in a particularly large amount.
\n
Earlier, a resident of Ulyanovsk, in an attempt to profit from cryptocurrency, transferred unknown recipients nearly 2 million rubles.
