The Enforcement Directorate in India has seized $286 million worth of cryptocurrency under anti-money laundering laws. This was part of an investigation into the OctaFX Ponzi scheme, which duped Indian investors of $225 million. The alleged mastermind, Pavel Prozorov, was arrested in Spain for cybercrimes related to the scheme. The probe found that OctaFX operated through a global network to evade regulatory oversight and launder funds across multiple jurisdictions. The ED has attached assets worth $321 million in the case, including properties and a luxury yacht owned by Prozorov.
